Why does it say that Firefox is 105gb under my programs list?
When i go into the 'Programs and Features' list in the control panel on windows, it says that firefox 41.0 is 105gb. surely this cannot be correct? there must be some issue as im sure this is slowing my computer significantly. Firefox works fine. i just want to know why its so big.
Cheers!

In addition, here is a photo to show you.
Hmm, mine shows 86.3 MB. That matches up with the size of Firefox's program folder here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
If you check yours, is it really consuming 105GB? If so, there's a little something extra in there...
Strange, now when ive refreshed it it seems to have disappeared! Now its not showing any number. I think ill clean through my addons and see if that helps!
Cheers!
Add-ons shouldn't affect the size of the Firefox program files folder, as extensions are installed in the Profile folder and plugins are installed with the program that installs the plugins, which aren't counted in the "Size" that Windows reports.
I show 86.1MB for Firefox 41 program files on a 32-bit version of Win7.
