Doug Huffman Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 FF4 RC here. Hadn't noticed. Anecdotal problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe2 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 FF4 RC here. Hadn't noticed. Anecdotal problem? well, to reproduce this bug u have to accumulate 800 mb of cache I guess. (around 65 000 files was deleted) and you have to close firefox for ccleaner to clean it and a non-ssd harddrive similar to samsung f3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I noticed this problem once during an earlier beta, but haven't seen it since. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe2 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I just discovered that clearing the cache from within firefox 4 settings uses the same amount of time as doing it from ccleaner... so it looks like this is not a CCleaner-bug.... I wonder why cleaning up the firefox cache takes so long...didnt have this problem with firefox 3.X, only 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 When this occured for me, for some reason I had like 75000 files in my cache. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe2 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have overridden automatic cache management in firefox settings, under options->advanced>-network.. I put it to 250 mb.....now it takes just a few seconds to clear the cache with ccleaner ... otherwise the cache would rise to 1gb after a day of surfing...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 23, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2011 The slow cleaning in Firefox with various cleaners not just CCleaner can be caused by Compacting Database, aka Vacuuming the SQLite files. I'll tell you I've completely switched to Opera and CCleaner now cleans my system in about 1 second flat versus several seconds waiting for it to clean Firefox v3.6.x and the new v4.

user4 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Confirmed problem. I do the same things I used to do with FF 3. Cleaning FF 4 takes half an hour or more! FF and CC settings are the same they were before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed how slow Firefox is to clean its own cache so it isn't a CCleaner problem. I will try your tip of setting a limit on the Firefox cache too and see how things go from there.
