How can I stop Firefox profiles great taking place on the C drive for each user?
I have several users on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Remote Desktop Server (Terminal Server) and all of them use Firefox. Each of their profiles become huge because of their Firefox profiles.
Seems that all the space the file cache. (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\Profile.default\Cache)
Is it possible to implement a policy within the program to clear the cache for each user or each time the browser is closed or when the user disconnects?
Hello nukeit108, you can set the preference browser.cache.disk.enable to false, then no cache file will be written to disk (does not affect the entries cached in RAM).

When I drag a copy a favorite site of Firefox Bookmarks without a title on my desktop, the icon of the company is replaced by Mozilla icon. This translates all my icons to the Office looking for the same thing, even if individual labels are preserved.
If you create an internet shortcut in this way this shortcut then gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you must assign you this icon for the shortcut on the desktop (right click: properties).
You can usually get the favorite icon if you add 'favicon.ico' to the main area of a website (for example http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display favorite icon in a tab and save this image to a folder or see if you can find it in "tools > Page Info > media. -

How can I stop firefox from redirecting me to dumb the survery everytime I open a new page?
Everytime I open the browser, from this morning, it redirects me to an investigation. Everytime I open a new tab or page, it redirects me to an investigation.
This looks like a problem with a computer/malware on your computer. Please try these steps:
- Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

The value of the integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the subject: config page in order to get the about: sessionrestore page immediately with the first start after a collision has occurred or the Task Manager was used for the closing of Firefox.
This way, you see if the previous session is not close properly or it crashed and deselects the tabs that you do not want to reopen, but will reopen the other tabs.
