Firefox, sqlite.corrupt files

[Artyom]

While taking care of friend's computer, and found his disk full of files with .corrupt extension in this folder:

 

%username%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Files name was places.sqlite-123.corrupt

 

Maybe it's worth adding such extension to CCleaner's target list, or is it possible to add manually?

Good idea.

I had once more than 2500 .corrupt files in my Profile folder, and it reaaaaaally slowed down Firefox.

Interesting, I've never seen any of these files, what Windows/FF versions?

The same for me, and I've used Firefox for a long time now.

 

I wonder if it's some buggy FF addon causing it, and one way to find out if they keep reappearing is to disable all addons/themes then enable them one by one to see if it's caused by a particular addon/theme.

 

And from a Google search this is about the only topic that discusses those corrupt files. Possibly bug report it to Mozilla too.

You could all post your extensions here and see if there's an extension or two common between all three of you
