How to clear Pale Moon's DNS cache? I found instructions for Firefox that said go to about:networking, then click on DNS, then click the button that says Clear DNS Cache, but Pale Moon has no such button.

EDIT
Looking into this more, I came across this old thread: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=31478
I didn't untick the box in uBo that disables prefetching when I saw this thread when it was new. So does this mean that Pale Moon on my system has no DNS cache? (I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I'm going on the philosophy that no question is dumb.)

There's currently no good way to do this (there's no way to programmatically clear the DNS cache since it's normally not needed).
I'll add this as an enhancement to the platform, shouldn't be too hard to do this.

The default is for them to expire after 3 minutes (for those not having a TTL supplied by the DNS server), which you can adjust as a workaround to a small number with network.dnsCacheExpiration. Alternatively you can disable/enable PB mode or change your network and it should also clear. It's kludgy, I know, so this is a good request if it's necessary to clear the cache for some reason.

EDIT: Filed and solved Issue #2652 (UXP). It'll be in 33.5.0

To answer this: DNS prefetching isn't the same as DNS caching -- they are flipsides in a way. The uBo setting affects prefetching (looking up hosts before navigating) - the thing here affects caching (post-navigation "remembering" of the lookup)
