There is no relationship between the two programs. You need to set your options separately.

I don’t know why you clear it out when you close unless you don’t want your information to be found by others. Why bother? Hard drive space at a minimum?

Anyway, the settings are set in the Internet Options as described above. You can set it from Tools > Internet Options > General > Temporary Internet Files > Settings, then move to History and set it there.

I’m always going back to pages I’ve visited in the past week, so if I’m on a computer with little free space, I at least leave the history and cache for 1-2 weeks worth.

However, I recently noticed that the history and cache are being collected in Explorer, even though they have been cleared in firefox. How do I prevent IE from collecting this data without having to search for temporary internet files, delete those files and open IE and manually remove history?
