		So shouldn't you really be shouting at mozilla for changing things in the first place?

		On the other hand it is up to CCleaner devs to check these things.

Well it's a little from Column A and a little from Column B. Betas are quite the moving target, and we don't always get responses from the developers of the software that we are cleaning in a timely fashion to action appropriately on a monthly release cycle.

As mentioned previously, we're (still) looking at a rearchitecture of the way cleaning rules are delivered so that they can be served up a bit like Antivirus pattern files. That way we can respond much faster to any changes, and we don't have to have the massive overhead of a complete rebuild and release every time a rule needs to be updated ... at least for people who aren't blocking CCleaner ;)

Quick Update: While we work on getting out a fix, users can work around this issue by disabling a cleaning option in CCleaner:

  • If using Custom Clean: in the Firefox section, disable the Internet Cache setting. This affects Firefox cleaning only.
  • If using Health Check: after analyzing, in the 'Privacy' section, disable the Temporary Internet Files option before completing a clean. This affects cleaning of Firefox and other browsers.

		For those who don't have a ccleaner.ini, or don't want to edit it manually, you can apply the exclusion/workaround like this:
	</p>

	<p>
		After using Firefox close it, open ccleaner and go to Custom Clean.


		Click on Analyze


		Double click on 'Firefox - Internet Cache' (You may need to expand the window to see the full pathnames, but they may be the only two files there).


		Right click on '...\storage-sync-v2.sqlite-wal'


		Click on 'Add to Exclude list'


		Right click on '...\storage-sync-v2.sqlite-shm'


		Click on 'Add to Exclude list'


		Job done.
	</p>

	<p>
		Note also that Exclusions only apply to Custom Clean, Health Check ignores Exclusions.
	</p>

	<p>
		PS. If you don't have your Firefox synced with a Firefox account then you don't need this workaround.
	</p>

This method is perfectly valid as well, and is what we recommend for more experienced CCleaner users.

Thank you to nukecad for the steps above, to APMichael for the .ini method and to Andavari for the Firefox portable guide.

And finaly, thank you to circcc for originally flagging this. My apologies that we didn't address this sooner. We're working on getting a fix out as soon as possible.

The thanks should go to APMichael, I merely modified what he had already posted.
