I see many messages like this on the messages log and the warning log:

[...] Nay, I just deleted them, after tarring them into an archive, just in case.
Now it is spamming with a different error:

I had to kill the tracker-extract process.
The process gets restarted a while later and keeps complaining that the files were deleted:
The following errors, they are for the files that you deleted, right? So there must be an index somewhere telling Firefox to expect those files to exist. Maybe that is in the Firefox cache, and you could try deleting the cache (after quitting Firefox). Or instead, you could try putting the files back (from your tar archive) that you so "rudely" took from Firefox. ;-) Then if that gets rid of these errors, you could look to find what creates the garbage files and the original error messages ("wrong stream format").

and I have to kill tracker-extract-3. Meanwhile, both warn and messages log are bigger than a gigabyte.
(and the Thunderbird addon Toggle line wrap doesn't work, has gone from the compose bar)
Your first post starting this thread was fine, with "User-Agent: Alpine 2.26 (LSU 649 2022-06-02)". Each log line you included was just a single line, unwrapped. BTW, a filter that can help you reading the logs, by shortening common strings: FDdir_re='/home/cer/Download/Firefox_downloads/cadenaser_hoyporhoy_20240919_100000_110000_data/eff' HAP_re='Telcontar tracker-extract [0-9]\+ - -' sed -e "s,${FDdir_re},<FDdir>,g" -e "s,${HAP_re},<HAP>," -- Robert Webb
