Firefox is installed to SD but still takes up 20MB of data

As the title really, I've installed Firefox on Android 2.2 (HTC Desire). The app itself only takes up around 1.7MB after moving to SD as I expected, but it keeps filling up data to the point where I can't install apps or do anything on the phone because of the hardware limitations of the Desire. I assume this is all cache data that's taking up the space.

I can delete everything each time, but I have to clear from App settings because there doesn't seem to be any exposed option in the application to just clear the cache. Clearing personal data and browsing history releases about 1MB which obviously isn't enough.

Is there any way to force Firefox to store data on the SD card?

Hi microbread,

Unfortunately this is an issue some other users have experienced as well. There is some discussion of the problem at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754575 if you would like more background.

Something you can try is going to about:config and changing the browser.cache.disk.capacity value to a lower number. The default is 20480 which corresponds to 20 megabytes; if you want to reduce it to, say, 5 MB, you can reduce it to 5120. That should reduce the amount of disk space Firefox uses up for its cache files. Please let me know if that helps either by posting here or on the bug I linked above.

Cheers, kats

Thanks! That looks like it'll do the trick :)

I'll update if it still overflows.
