Is there any way to change the setting for the Firefox Cleaner to not run automatically. It is really messing up my on line gaming.

While playing my on line game, the game suddenly freezes and I can't do anything in game. I have to start my Task Manager and "End Task" my Fire Fox page. As it is shutting down, I notice that it says that the Fire Fox cleaner is running. This happens several times a day and it has come at some very in opportune times. Is there any way to change the setting so that the cleaner does not run automatically?

There is no "Firefox cleaner" as such. Depending on your privacy settings, there are things that Firefox will clean out (cookies, history . . . .) but not until the browser is closed.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar Under History, choose; Firefox will "Remember History."
