It does its own DNS caching but on a small scale.  By default, it
caches a maximum of 30 addresses with an expiration time of 300
seconds.  These values can be modified, I believe, by adding
appropriate lines to your "prefs.js":

        user_pref("network.dnsCacheEntries", 30);
        user_pref("network.dnsCacheExpiration", 300);

If you find entries more stale than 5 minutes, something's going
wrong.
