See https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Install-and-Update/Profiles-Where-Firefox-stores-your-bookmarks-passwords-and-other/ta-p/4608 |

for a listing of what files store what in your profile. You can delete |
| 10 |
ones you don't want. Firefox will create a new default replacement next |
| 11 |
time you start. |
| 12 |
|

***IMPORTANT*** |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1) you must ***NOT*** be running Firefox against that profile when you |
| 16 |
do the deletions. Otherwise it will restore from crash-backup and/or |
| 17 |
memory when it exits. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
2) You ***MUST*** first open Firefox with that profile and then close it |
| 20 |
"properly" with either "File ==> Quit" or the {CTRL}{Q} keyboard |
| 21 |
shortcut. Firefox has a "crash-recovery" option that allows it to |
| 22 |
resume a session if it is killed externally, e.g. "killall firefox". |
