Not cleaning new Waterfox v55.1.0.1

CCleaner for Windows CCleaner Windows Bug Reporting
1

The new Waterfox v55.1.0.1 has changes the folder for its profile and data.

Profile folders was in AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox is now moved to:

AppData\Roaming\Waterfox\Profiles

Application still lists FireFox...

Do you have any firefox on there other than waterfox? If not then it's already detecting it; browsers are cleaned by their parent browser's heading.

You also may need to set customlocation

See http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/ccleaner-ini-files/how-to-clean-user-data-from-non-standard-mozilla-browsers

Upgraded to 5.36.6278 - still no fix for Waterfox browser.

Suggested thread to "to set customlocation" was not clean as to where the "ccleaner.ini" was..

Waterfox v55.2.2

Ccleaner.ini is made by options. The setting is save preferences in ini (I think it's in the first options screen but if not then it's under advanced). At that point you can find the file in your ccleaner folder (usually c:\program files\ccleaner unless you changed that on install)

5

Okay found it: Options / Advanced - check box "Save all settings to INI file

Yes now at "C:\Program Files\CCleaner".

My system has the "User" folders on the D: drive.

I added the following to the ccleaner.ini:

CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Roaming\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default

CustomLocation2=FIREFOX|d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Local\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default\cache2

Note: tried using "%APPDATA%" tag but did not work for me.

Did a "Analyze" and it now showed Cookie and Cache from Waterfox

Hope this helps...

%appdata% is a system variable that points to C:\ drive, so that wouldn't work since you have moved your User location to D:\ drive.

start a commend prompt and type in echo %appdata% to see what it is set to.

7

Yes it is a system variable. I ran a cmd and did the echo - I got: "d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Roaming".

I was trying to not use a direct folder reference in what I did to get Waterfox cleaned.

8

well, bugger me, substituting d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Roaming for %appdata% should work then. (but not for CustomLocation2)

9

I got %APPDATA% to work for cookies, but the system tag of %LOCALAPPDATA% for the location of the cache did not.

// Waterfox cookies

CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|%APPDATA%\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default

CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Roaming\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default

// Waterfox Cache

CustomLocation2=FIREFOX|%LOCALAPPDATA%\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default

CustomLocation2=FIREFOX|d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Local\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default

hmmm, sorry, no answer for that.
