How can I turn off cache in Firefox only when developer tools are opened?

Tags:

I know that I can turn off the cache in Firefox going to about:config and setting network.http.use-cache and browser.cache.offline.enable to false.

But this is annoying when I want to turn off the cache temporary. I really like the feature of turning off cache only when dev tools are opened.

Is there any solution for Firefox?

I would prefer not to install add-ons if possible.
