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?

After uploading Firefox Update 115.35.2ser, Cookies and Site Data will not fully clear. The Clear Data button removes some cookies and data, but there is always 122 KB of disk space still there that will not be removed. I have deleted my add-ons, but that had no effect.

This happened once before (several years ago) but only went away with a new update.

If I use the "refresh Firefox feature will that fix the problem and if I use that feature will all of my bookmarks be lost?
