Do you mean in your ROXfiler file manager, when you open a folder containing images the icons will show a thumbnail of each image in the file? That's a totally different function from the browser thumbnail displays which you just disabled but just as easily fixed.
Will you first please say which Puppy you're using, to be sure?
(Thanks for that info, Fredx181, appreciated, I only checked in my Firefox ESR & Light 49, but it now sounds like it may not be the thumbnails in his browser he's trying to disable)

ROXfiler file manager
Exactly!
It's X-Slacko Slim 4.4
I clear the FF cache periodically so it does the job, anyway.
Btw is Light any good of a browser?

OK, open any window in ROXfiler and right click in an empty space.
From the menu choose "Options".
In the left pane of the window which then opens expand "Filer windows" (if necessary) and click on "Thumbnails", then in the right pane untick the box next to "Show image thumbnails".
It might also be a good idea to click on "Purge thumbnails disk cache" since I know from personal experience this can become a huge file which can rapidly fill up the free space of your save file when you visit folders on your drives containing lots of images.
Click "OK"
Done!
Have a read through this thread which has links to a few different builds of Light 49 and opinions on it.
Or try it for yourself (having first backed up your save file, so nothing lost if you don't get on with it); light-49.0.linux-i686_6.sfs, available here, works "out of the box" loaded in Slacko 6.3.0, on which your X-Slacko Slim 4.4 seems to be based. (I also needed to install "apulse-0.1.11-i686-wz.pet" from here to enable sound in web pages).

Re: ROXfiler file manager
In firefox I just Menu, Edit, Preferences, Cached Web Content and tick the Override Automatic Cache and set the associated box to Limit Cache To 10MB which is enough for my general needs whilst not taking up too much disk space to cache things. If you were on a slow internet link (modem or whatever) or a pay per MB downloaded link only then might you want to cache more content to reduce how much was being downloaded.kuman11 wrote:I clear the FF cache periodically
I'm rather strict about caches in a browser as its a backdoor for spectre/meltdown using JavaScript. The essential ones that FireFox needs are set to the cache-size of the MPU. All the other ones are zero.

You will have to modify the related pref(s) directly on the about:config page.
browser.cache.disk.capacity (max: 1048576; 1024 MB)
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
