Ccleaner & Firefox caches

[inojim]

I'm using Ccleaner v5.11.5408 under WinVista/64.  Under Cleaner/Applications/Firefox I have all boxes checked, including Cache, History and Cookies.  When I run Ccleaner, it shows that those items were cleaned, but then when I open Firefox and start typing an address, for example, one pops right up from Firefox History.  And for cache and cookies, when I take look using Firefox's own utility, I see all the old stuff there.  BUT when I right-click those same three subheads under Applications/Firefox, and click 'Clean' for each individually, the items are purged.  Am I misunderstanding something here? Shouldn't Ccleaner automatically take care of this in a normal Clean cycle if those boxes are checked?

better upgrade your cc to latest version which is v5.13

then try again

Thanks, dvdbane; just did that and it appears to have fixed the issue.  I wonder now if this was a known bug and fixed without comment, but all seems fine now.

I have a different problem with Firefox caches. Since FF 42, the cache files now come with twenty-plus-character names. It takes CCleaner about .5 second to clear each file individually, and since there are between 600 and 2,400 files to be removed, this suddenly is a time-eater of major proportions.

 

But I haven't found anybody else mentioning this. This topic was the closest I could find. Is anybody else having this problem? Should I take this up with Mozilla as well? Any help would be appreciated.

Since it is a different problem please open a new thread instead of piggybacking on somebody else's

All of my firefox cache entries are 40 characters in length or more in name, but I am not having a problem cleaning them. CCleaner deleted 10,592 such files in 1.912 seconds on my machine (windows 8.1 pro x64, latest ccleaner, latest firefox nightly)
