Firefox is storing an ever increasing amount of data on my device. It is up to over 600 MB and growing. This is fairly recent How do I access what data is being saved and clean up data that does not need to be using up memory on my device?

I am using firefox on linux since ~10 years. Currently running latest FF on Kubuntu. I always had setting set to forget all cookies and session details except of search history on exit.

Since approx 2-3 weeks (latest update?) those settings don't work. FF remembers everything regardless of settings I chose.

Does anyone have idea why this is happening now and how to fix it?

History cache and browsing must be constantly cleared to access various sites. Ongoing, constant event to send this mail. Problem now. Bank site tech helped me trouble shoot Seems hitting Ctrl F5 bypasses (so far, it seems) he suggests you look at this ME, I am about ready to jump out of Firefox after years of pledging loyalty

Hello there's just been an update on my laptop for Firefox.. and now I'm logged out of every account I had opened on my browsers!! I googled this and seemingly this problem has happened before with Firefox..

Desktop and laptop--all upgraded with anti-virus software. Why does firefox randomly log me out of websites and delete my cookies--WITHOUT me doing anything? At work, my password book is at home--so being logged out is annoying and stressful Help me with telling me how to STOP being randomly logged out by firefox for no apparent reasons?? PLEASE!!!

yahoo mail keeps requiring me to get code from gmail to view my mail. problem may be that my cookies are deleted when i close firefox. windows 11 desktop. Thanks for Your help

i keep having to sign in to every website. bbc sounds, iplayer, amazon prime ITVX etc as if i using it for first time, have had many laptops and browsers inc firefox and this is first time i have had to sign in again and again and again..........can i fix this or do i have to get google chrome cos its annoying and unnecessary. thanks for your time

Sometimes, after restarts, FF forgets every site I'm logged into. Open tabs persist, the login sessions do not. I have no better observation of when this happens, I'm afraid - it's not every time. Because of this it's very hard to reproduce reliably - over the past 2 weeks, it didn't happen and now it was 2 days in a row. "Clear cookies and site data" is definitely off. I have no extensions apart from Dark Reader and uBlock. Because my daily work requires me to use a dozen sites I have to log into, all using 2FA, this is incredibly annoying. I have also completely reset my profile, which did help for a while but then it started again - so I'm thinking the profile reset was more of a coincidence than actual causality.

Recently I have been having a problem with repeatedly needing to reset my password every few days on sites that always used to recognize me. It seems my cookies are being deleted automatically or something. What is going on with this?
