How to clear a browser cache

E Street recommends the Internet browser software “FireFox” or Google’s “Chrome” (and add Safari for Macs) for the best speed, reliability and performance.  For Windows use the latest Microsoft “Edge” browser.  Internet Explorer is no longer supported and should not be used.  You can download FireFox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ and Chrome here: https://www.google.com/chrome 

Occasionally web browsers need to have their “cache” flushed for various reasons… usually to view changes when updating page content in CMS or working with new website designs or to improve performance.  Here is how to do it:
