Firefox using 17.179.869.185 GB storage.....
Hi, latest Firefox on TW seems to be a monster when it comes to disk space usage: https://paste.opensuse.org/99412567 This is quite an amount for cookies and website data, esp as I have only 1TB space in total..... On the other hand, I'm a bit scared to remove the profile in favor of a new one. Anyone aware which data is lost *despite* using FF synchronization? Cheers Axel

Use the software "BleachBit" but be carefully, it could clean more than you wish, make a copy of your home if you are not sure what you do. simoN -- www.becherer.de

Hi, I sadly cannot help you on the synchronization question, but regarding your issue in general, there is already an old (2019) report at [1]. Cheers [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1585978

Curious numbers. The number in your subject line, taken without the "GB" suffix (17179869185), equals 16 GiB + 1. Could that mean anything? -- Robert Webb
