Firefox is storing an ever increasing amount of data on my device. It is up to over 600 MB and growing. This is fairly recent How do I access what data is being saved and clean up data that does not need to be using up memory on my device?

Hi mthrsdva, you can view information about the stored data by opening Settings, navigating to “Privacy and Security,” and scrolling down to “Cookies and Site Data.”

To get more information about the data a website might store on your computer (cookies, local storage), you can visit the website and open the developer tools. (F12 or right-click -> “Inspect”) Then switch to the “Storage” tab.
