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?

If you use a Firefox account, you should be able to sync your history and stored passwords.

I use Fennec from F-Droid as well.

App Size: 283 MB

Total: 1.17 GB

Don't know why you have so much user data. Maybe one of your extensions?

Thanks for sharing. I deleted all Add-Ons but it only slightly decreased.
