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.

When using the browser on the newest update on the android app, I am unable to interact with pop up menus, such as when I want to change the options of a search, and I can't give websites access to my camera because the allow pop up button doesn't work, the only thing I can do is tap off to the side of the menu to make it go away. The only fix to this I found was installing an older version of Firefox, ver 150.2 specifically.
