[email protected] : Caching frequently downloaded / used page assets? (self.firefox)

I read the descriptions for the Dcentraleyes and LocalCDN addons which cache popular JS frameworks and page assets to enhance privacy and speed up pages that use them (since the assets were downloaded beforehand). Does Firefox have any built-in functionality to cache frequently used assets, or are there any addons that do so?

For instance, If I access Reddit.com a lot, I would want all the resources that all those Reddit pages have in common to be cached automatically to make loading pages from the domain faster.

Firefox already does this. But as pages like Reddit are very dynamic, caching doesn't provide much benefit beyond the page style.
