Cache clearing deletes saved form info and history. Anyway not to have this happen?

    When I cleared the cache in firefox, prior to defragging my disk, it
    also cleared all saved form information and the history. even though
    there are separate options to do this. Is there any way to just clear
    the cache'd info not including saved form information (especially) and
    possibly the history (less important, but helps to have the
    autocomplete info when typing URL's).

    TIA, Jim

    Well, I guess somehow I must have done clear all if there's no
    possibility that clear (cache) did this.

    You may have. If you still doubt it, then you could try storing a
    password and seeing if clearing cache deleted it, but it shoudln't have
    (it doesn't here).
