Moderators Nergal Posted September 28, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2017 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 ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

mac.and.cheese Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nergal Posted October 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2017 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) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

mac.and.cheese Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 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.defaultCustomLocation2=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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2017 %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. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

mac.and.cheese Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted October 25, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 25, 2017 well, bugger me, substituting d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Roaming for %appdata% should work then. (but not for CustomLocation2) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

mac.and.cheese Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 I got %APPDATA% to work for cookies, but the system tag of %LOCALAPPDATA% for the location of the cache did not. // Waterfox cookiesCustomLocation1=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.defaultCustomLocation2=FIREFOX|d:\Users\DAR\AppData\Local\Waterfox\Profiles\pi5j6e2f.default Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
