C:|users\lee\AppData\Local\mozilla\firefox\profiles\tfw6yc7z.default\CACHE_MAP_9

I use CCleaner to remove them but when I start Firefox they reappear

Does anyone know what these are? and what they are for?

Thanks

That looks normal to me. What version did you have before? The layout of the Firefox cache folder changed some time ago so that more files could be accommodated (i.e., to keep performance acceptable because Windows slows down with huge numbers of files in a single directory).

Edit: Screen shot of file sizes for comparison:
