firefox on android syorage at 1.25 GB and climbing
Overtime android seems to balloon in storage size.
I tried deleting history and data inside the app, it lowered slightly then shot back up.
I does not always go up, seems i can go days or weeks wothout a noticeable increase, my guess it is happens whenever android is managing stored memory on apps, i recently restarted and it grew again.
I have tried remote debugging over usb on a mac and could not find anything taking up any amount of data that would account for this.
I dont really know what to do, i would like to avoid uninstalling the app and manually readding pw thing or gaving to save them to firefoxs cloud save. Eventually i will have to as phone storage is getting very low.
I mostly just watch YT on a regular tab, and browse the web in private tabs. I have ublock , no script, video backgroundplay fix as enabled addons, if any of that helps. None of them had a big memory footprint in remote debug.

If you're able to debug your way around the db/storages, could you check if the same SQL file might still be the culprit?
It would be helpful to file a new bug if the maintenance is still not running for you on that storage. Thanks.
Hm, i am not sure.
I could not find quicksuggest-amp.sql , i asked an LLM where to look and it suggested storage>indexed DB>chrome>remote-settings , but i only saw: attachments, collections,records,timestamps. It is an LLM though so i qould not be surprised it its confused it for a desktop setting or just gave bad information.
I may have contaminated things though, as i enabled/disabled 'settings>search>suggestions from firefox'.
The data rose to 1.28gb so i ended up deleting browsing-hostory/cookies-and-site-data/cached-images-and-files. This dropped it to 844mb, after a few hours of letting a playlist on yt run its 846mb. Restarting also did not balloon the data again.
So it might be fixed, but i may of contaminated checking what ever was causing the issue. If this seems like normal storage growth values to you then i guess things are fine.
I can update again after a week or month to see where things stand, or follow whatever advice you may have. I am not sure why its behaving better now.
EDIT: its at 863mb and has fallen in size at times. I set maximum memory use down in gekoview so hopefully it wont grow beyond 50mb. I guess the issue may be gone, but i dont think i offered anything helpful so ill just mark it as solved.
