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?

    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.
