Squid proxy. Set that up on a computer and configure firefox to use it. It will cache as much as you allow it based on hard drive usage.
@WasimA. It can't cache https, not without performing a mitm attack to the client (yourself), in this "https era" your best bet is maxing out Firefox's own cache size. – MGP – 2018-12-07T15:54:30.860
is there exist any good addons – Wasim A. – 2013-08-25T16:45:50.840
@Wasim addons for what specifically? – cybernard – 2013-08-25T16:47:57.693
that can cache contents and load content offline, specially images – Wasim A. – 2013-08-25T16:49:46.250
@Wasim It should cache everything even downloads and images. From the website "Squid is a fully-featured HTTP/1.0 proxy which is almost (but not quite - we're getting there!) a fully-featured HTTP/1.1 proxy." – cybernard – 2013-08-25T16:55:23.593
it was harder to configure, took my 2 hours. I suggest not to change the default directory to c:\squid. it will take your time. and you can not use path with space like d:\program file\squid. it will not accept space – Wasim A. – 2013-09-07T07:36:37.457
@Wasim did you try quoting the path "d:\program file\squid"? Without quotes programs will not accept spaces. – cybernard – 2013-09-07T15:34:52.193
i have, but it failed – Wasim A. – 2013-09-10T15:10:59.400

Besides having static files cached, here are a few things you can do to conserve bandwidth:
0
links -g
user-agent
header, for example "mobile / android phone"save-data: on
header. this seems to be ignored by most websitesThat doesn't address the question about Firefox and cache. – RalfFriedl – 2019-08-24T09:19:57.473
Per GB on the GB? – Austin T French – 2013-08-25T17:32:30.887
