Is it safe to delete archived firefox data reporting files?

I have an aging Intel iMac, running OS X 10.6 and Firefox 48.0.

The "datareporting" - "Archived" folder— Library / Application Support / Firefox / Profiles— contains numerous monthly folders, each crammed full of files. The one for the current month alone has 107 so far.

Are these really essential, and if not, can they be safely deleted?

Also, can the feature or function creating them be disabled via about:config?

Thanks!

You can remove any old files as long as the program is not using them.

Since you have Mac OSX 10.6 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-osx on your options since Firefox 49.0 and later Release will not run on the old OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8.
