Firefox Community Forum

In the past, when I would download a Firefox update to my laptop, when I cleared the Cookies and Data, there would be zero remaining. Now, every time I download a Firefox update 24KB of data remain and will not clear when I push the Clear Data button. If there is more in the Cookies and Data file, when I push the Clear Data button most of what is there is removed but there is always 24KB that remains and will not clear.

1. Why has the Firefox updates started leaving 24KB permanently in the cookies and data file?

2. How are we to remove the remaining 24KB that does not clear when you push the Clear Data button?

This is not so much as a help request as a suggestion, if someone can forward this along....

I depend on containers since they were introduced. I see now that they can vanish and are not synced nor can they be easily backed up. I have lost customer accounts now because of my dependence on containers. Had I known they could vanish, I would have continued using different profiles.

Please add a warning for those who depend on containers so that they do not end up in my predicament or remove them entirely or at least do not add them by default.
