Resetting Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera, OmniWeb, and iCab.

Periodically your web browsing experience may become exceptionally slow or give you odd behavior such as the page content not updating, which in most cases is a result of corruption in temporary files such as caches and preferences. In order to make troubleshooting these files simple, many browsers have reset options readily available, but others do not. Here are the locations of various places to reset histories, caches, and other temporary items on several popular Mac browsers (the latest versions of each).

Keep in mind that performing all of these actions will revert your browser's settings back to the defaults, and in some cases not all of them are needed to clear browsing problems. In some instances there are multiple ways of accessing the same reset functions, but I figured I would cover all ways possible for each browser. In addition to these, removing the application's preference file itself (located in your /username/Library/Preferences/ folder -- delete any file containing the name of the respective browser) will reset a number of altered settings.
