This ensures that the web page is loaded a lot quicker as the web page is loaded from your hard disk instead of being downloaded over the internet. If the Firefox web browser discovers that a particular portion of the web page has undergone a change, that particular parts of the web page will be downloaded form the internet and the rest of the page loads from the hard disk.
