Do I really need to use CCleaner?

more options

Hello Firefox Team; I love your browser and I've been using it since I believe 2007 or maybe before. Anyway, I have been using CCleaner and I was just wondering if I REALLLLLY need 2? I have disk cleaner and I also use the disk defragmenter. I think this takes up space on my system. I would appreciate an answer and would b very grateful. Sincerely; wildchildshirl56

Hello wildchildshirl56, for me it is not necessary. I also use it, but i have exclude firefox from the "cleaner". I clear the cache and cookies from time to time (from "clear recent history" area) and that's it. Note that i do the same in beta, developer and nightly edition also.

cheers :-)

thank you
