Hmmm, there is no directory on my system in /var/cache which is named as 
it would be likely that it contains a browser cache:

merkaba:~> ls /var/cache
apt                dictionaries-common  modass
apt-listbugs       dirmngr              pbuilder
apt-show-versions  flashplugin-nonfree  pm-utils
apt-xapian-index   fontconfig           powertop
cups               git                  samba
debconf            ldconfig
debtags            man

Are you sure /var/cache went smaller directly after cleaning browser 
caches? Maybe you did something else...

(That said, a system-wide browser cache would make some sense, but there 
are privacy concerns, cause a user might be able to see what another user 
browsed.)
