Hi all,

the firefox clone Fennec from F-Droid uses way to much storage.

I was not able to clean it. I am also very afraid of loosing history and stored passwords.

Anybody knows how to savely reduce this? The big storage must be caused by cached Images and or Videos, right?

    Aah. So clearing cache will not help.

    Do you have a lot of bookmarks or open tabs or so?
    In the Data collection settings, is studies turned on?

      Have 0 bookmarks and 0 tabs open. I don’t even use Fennec much. Only as second browser next to mull

      I searched the settings but find nothing regarding studies.

        Aah. Fdroid removes the portions of telemetry.
        I use the regular Firefox fenix, so asked about that.

        I don’t think there are many other options.
        There is a remote usb debugging option, but I don’t have much info on that. Maybe that can help you troubleshoot?

          Good idea regarding USB debugging. Never did this before. Probably need a quiet weekend to dig into this.

            Do share your experience after you try it, either here or on the community for firefox.

            Will probably help others having the issue too.
