I update FireFox, use ABP, & all I can think of yet when Irun Cleaner it always shows Firefox has the most crap to delete. How can I correct this?

I like Firefox because it eliminates following, information gathering, & all the hated things. I always open & run CCleaner when shutting down and noticed that when all is cleaned, Firefox has the most crap cleaned by a wide margin even though I have ABP add-on for FF.

Don't think this should be. How can I eliminate Firefox getting loaded down with crap while running? It's trashing up my machine & slowing FF down! What do I do???

This depends on what you mean by crap. Can you tell us what the report says? How much crap is there?

Also, we do not advice that you have another program clean Firefox files. Sometimes the wrong files get corrupt.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar.

The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn on Remember my browsing and download history At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on Cache and Form And Search History.
