Hi,

The default storage folder (alone) in my Firefox portable install is 1.29 GB and still growing. I know this is where website store data, and addons sometimes use this folder as well.

The folder grows so fast it is rendering my Firefox install almost unusable every three or four months. Is there any way to limit the size of this folder?

Regarding addons in that folder, most are very small (kilobytes range), but one rogue addon is 370 MB in size and still growing. It's folder in default>storage is "moz-extension+++d215ed11-a9b2-4927-bd1f-9755184bbe53"

How can I find out which addon this folder belongs to so I can remove the addon (or try and limit how much storage space it uses)?

Thanks.

OK Ive found out how to identify which folders are being used by which extension using about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.

So now I need a way to limit the amount of storage space it uses (there is no option in the extension itself to limit storage space).
