Installing DNS cache add-on in Mozilla Firefox

DNS cache is a record of mapping website addresses to their IP addresses so that after visiting them for the first time, subsequent look-ups become quicker as these records are stored locally.

However, after a while stale DNS cache can cause browsing issues and clearing this DNS cache can fix them quickly. DNS Cache is a simple Firefox add-on that does just that.
