firefox is running out of space / win 8 / loads of free disk space
Hi friends,
I am receiving an error that firefox is out of disk space.
"firefox is running out of space"
Despite following the instructions the error still appears. I also clicked the "Got it" button in hopes that this would make the error go away, but it keeps coming back. My system has over 20gb free and I really can't see why this error is occuring.
Does anyone have any advice? (besides switching browsers)
Thanks.

Neither had I.
Would you believe its gone now?
It appeared in a yellow bar at the top of the screen in the web page content area.
If it appears again, I'll grab a screamshot.
Thank you mate.

Can you run this to see what taking up space.
Hi Jonzn4SUSE,
I don't believe space is the issue here. I've got over 20gb free.
I can see this using "My computer".
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
I've never seen the message before, can you post a screenshot? Just curious to see...

Ok, just mark your last comment as resolved and see you in Verdansk. ;-))
Do you have a maximum quota set for various locations in Windows ?
If this is a warning coming from Firefox then this might also be about storage (indexedDB; storage folder in the profile folder).
You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
