Hi,

I guess I'm a heavy FF user - use it everyday and a lot - eg closed a window last night that had 48 tabs in it.

my Firefox Profile is 2.79 Gb. It doesn't appear to be causing problems but before I try the Refresh option - I'm wondering if this is excessive?

I'm using FF 38.0.5 with ~40 extensions and plugins on Mac OS X 10.10.4 with 10Gb RAM

Thanks

What is taken up that space? Is that the main profile folder or the location used for the disk cache?

Thanks. It's the Main (user) Profile Folder found in /Users/xvz/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/abcdefgh.default

I checked about:config and the largest cahce size is ~350Mb

But it seems the culprit is Zotero which is also storing it's data in the profile folder and is ~2 Gb.

Thanks.

Thanks, no problems - only wondering if the Profile size is unusual?

See the about:cache page for the location of the latter. You can also check the bookmarkbackups folder in the main profile folder.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:
