Why is Linux FF 52.4.0 (64-bit) using both ~/.mozilla and ~/.cache/mozilla and why does it take so much disk place ?

Debian stretch (stable) FF manually installed from mozilla (since V.45.6.0esr) and auto-upgraded
======================
Hi folks,
Respectively, the disk spaces taken are (with cache flushed !):
- ~/.mozilla: 232MB
- ~/.cache/mozilla: 202MB
Ok, I've quite a good deal of extensions (21), but that doesn't explain why, with an empty cache, it almost takes 450MB on the disk ; this is way too much !
It also seems there are a lot of duplicates between the both of these directories.
So, what can I do to reduce the whole stuff to a reasonable size (which might be IMHO < 50MB) ?
And which files should I backup if I've to restart from empty directories to avoid loosing places, bookmarks and extensions?
Thanks in advance & regards, Jiff

I love my Firefox browser and I don't want to give it up if possible, I use version ESR 52.4.0 I have Windows XP with service pack 3. Now I realize this is an old system, there are still millions of us using it and some of us like me at the moment can't afford to buy a new computer with Windows 10 so I hope you please try to help me. This is a very recent problem that started in the last 3 weeks or so where some websites I can't play videos at all and some I can. I have the latest version of Flash Player and I check every time there's a problem to make sure it's activated which it is yet only some websites for some strange reason still don't detect Flash Player is enabled even though it is. I can't watch any videos at all on MSN.com, it doesn't detect I have Flash Player and again I checked everything to make sure it's on and it is. I also use to watch regularly news on the Canadian News Broadcast and in the CBC Media Player recently I can't play any videos at all. Here are the links below for you to check, I have no idea what format they use and please try to be patient with me as I'm not a computer wiz and don't know what to do. Please check this for me and let me know what can be done. http://www.cbc.ca/player/news/Canada/North and http://www.cbc.ca/player/news/Canada/NB once you go to those websites just click on any one the videos and hopefully you'll know what format they are using. What I don't understand is that there are some that have Google Chrome with Windows XP yet they can play those very same videos that I can't or at least that is what I was told by someone but I like Firefox, Google is less secure and they are known for tracking too much personal info. Also, now there are other websites where I can currently play videos just fine with no problems at all such as You Tube, Yahoo, and AT&T Won't you please try to help me? I also hope that Mozilla will please reconsider supporting Windows XP even if it's only a few years longer, I know it's a lot to ask because it's such an old system but again some of us can't afford a new computer and feel like we are being forced to buy a new computer because of Microsoft despite the facts our Windows XP computers still work fine and it's not fair. Can't Firefox meet us halfway? Even for a small yearly donation to fully support Windows XP? Even if you only asked for let's say a $20.00 donation for the year and you times that by the millions who still use XP and like their Firefox browser that would add up. I hope that you please change your mind. Anyway, please email with any possible answers and suggestions you have that might help me. Thank you so very much in advance for your time and understanding. Have a good day.

Hello,
I need to recover a previous session (containing many tabs) I lost after I used to close FF (I wasn't able to use it properly due to my OS kernel security rules that blocked FF from running properly).
After running `grep` on a sessionstore-backup folder to look for the file containing a url of one of my session tabs, I got only one which is 'upgrade.jsonlz4-20170926190823' - When I renamed it to upgrade.json and DND it into FF, I got the following message from the FF JSON inspector:
> SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
The upgrade.json file starts with the following text (of course I can't give the whole file, for privacy and security reasons):
> mozLz40�����{"version":["ses �� restore",1],"windows":[{"tab �bentrie ��/url":"https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/56.0/whatsnew/?old~��=55.0.3","title":"F3��% is up to date","charset":"UTF-8","ID":1,"docshellUU��&"{40e69432-2d05-4bd5-bd15-89a7fff706ba}","originalURI��9�resultPrincip^��null,"triggering ��_base64":"SmIS26zLEdO3ZQBgsLbOywA� �AEY="���Identifier�Cpersist":true}],"lastAccessed":1507308570716,"hidden":false,"attributes":{},"indexW��userContextId":0��TypedValu�"�QClear'�@imag �!�media/img%� favicon.dc6635050bf5.ico","�HLoad<� ":"ZT4OTT7kRfqycpfCC8Aeu3 5� B3pRy0IA0EdOTmQAQS6D9QJIHOlRteE8wkTq4cYEyCMY;� C/��v0bsB��QRmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1vemlsbGEub3JnL2VuLVVTL2ZpcmVmb3gvNTYuMC93aGF0c25ldy8/b2xkdmVyc2lvbj01NS4wLjMAd��� BQ�g�P� CP��8 �I ��� �F�C �X%�H@� Bc �d�N��0@�D ���N0�E �X�w ��O="},����eb.mit.edu/21w.789� /notes/designclass15.pdf� ���3621000986� ��a5c3c0a0-862f-4d4b-bc7a-6002f78ac2d8��referrer��google.com/%��Policy":3)��"p�ToInherit��Y,62�
What's supposed to cause the error? Is there any chance to get the tabs from that file?

Will there be better options to use unsigned addons on a stable branch aside from ESR and third-party forks?

With unbranded builds (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded_Builds) now lacking a proper installer, making it increasingly difficult to maintain, I would like to know if there are or will be better ways to continue using unsigned addons on a stable Firefox browser.
I work on a few addons that I use daily and keep installed while I fine-tune them (sometimes over a dozen times throughout a day). Installing unsigned addons is also convenient when I want to install modified versions of official ones.
While updates are infrequent, it is still becoming more and more of a hassle. Auto-update does not seem to work and the last time I used it, my installation updated to a normal branded Mozilla Firefox. With Developer Edition and Nightly, it irritates me when features I depend on break -- forcing me to reinstall old builds and disable updates while monitoring for a fix. I am also reluctant to revert to ESR (remaking my profile) or switch to a third-party fork because I am currently content with the speed at which Firefox is improving.
How do I remove the new colored extranious information from the laters release's home page?
The question is self explanatory.

My ISP for 17 years, www. Spiritone.com , has gone dark - or almost - for nearly a month out of Portland , OR. Too bad ,but I have hung on long as I can. I have signed up for Fios/ Frontier.com just because the fiberoptic runs down my street and the landline is Frontier. Thunderbird has become my word processor and auxilliary brain and I very much want to stay with it. Frontier is tight with Yahoo and I spent 2 hours with a Frontier tech trying to configure Thunderbird to wotk with Yahoo – only to later get a message saying Yahoo bans Thunderbird as an insecure app. I agreed to allow the insecurity but so far that hasn't solved the config problem. I am old and a novice and I need help. If another browser could remedy this and config with Thunderbird I would love a suggestion.

There is an Add on 'YouTube View More Uploader Videos' https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtubeviewmoreuploadervids/#id=412804
When Youtube redesigned their site, they got rid of one of its most useful features: being able to scroll through all the other videos of the current uploader, so you could keep watching more content from the same provider, one video right after another.
YVMUV works by adding a player option parameter to the video url that unlocks the in-video list UI (also autoplay and shuffle), regaining access to that useful feature again. Even though Youtube turns it on for playlist videos by default, for some lame reason they've hidden it for regular videos.
Mozilla FF now shows the playlist of the current uploader, while Chrome shows a playlist based on some heuristic that gives what viewers are seeing next. I wonder if there is a way in Mozilla to show the playlist like Chrome. I am enclosing images of the playlist shown by Mozilla and Chrome after the following video is played:

When I right click, a left click is immediately fired which causes the first item to be selected. This is frustrating because the menu closes immediately.
Not sure what's going on. I tried downgrading Firefox and I tried a fresh profile. Nothing seemed to resolve this.
Initially I thought this was maybe a GTK3 issue, but I does not occur any other GTK3 application.
Any help?

Hi!
Synced devices under history on the mobile browser was showing my desktop tabs for awhile but now it isn't. It only shows the tabs open on my phone, I don't want to see those tabs as I'm already in the mobile browser but it won't show the tabs open on my desktop.

I haven't used my desktop computer in a few weeks, and before that everything worked fine.
Now when I try to start Firefox, it crashes almost immediately. Usually this is right after I restore the old session, but sometimes it will run for a few minutes or hours before crashing.
The crash occurs even in Safe Mode. I also tried closing all the tabs from my old session, but even with only one tab open it still crashes.
I'm on Debian Jessie, and I updated to the latest available Firefox after the crashes started, but that didn't help either.

How do I keep my history from wiping whenever I restart the browser? I have already gone into settings, everything is fine. My Privacy Settings are set to remember history, and the box to clear history when Firefox is closed is unchecked. I am not running Firefox in private mode. I don't have any add ons like CClear that I think could be causing this. I do have Malware Bytes, but even when I uninstalled it as a test, Firefox continued to remove everything when closed. I have scanned for malware and come up dry. Restarted, run system restore, all of that jazz. Any ideas?
