How to clean Mozilla Firefox from junk

The speed of any browser depends on the amount of garbage accumulated in it. So, if a large amount of unnecessary data has accumulated in the Mozilla Firefox browser, there can be no question of any fast and stable operation. That is why today we will look at two methods that will allow you to perform cleaning in the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Cleaning the Mozilla Firefox browser from junk

As a rule, garbage in the Mozilla Firefox browser refers to data such as history, cookies and cache, which, as a rule, are not particularly important for the user, but over time can greatly undermine the performance of the web browser. That is why it is recommended to clean Firefox of debris at least once every three months.

Method 1: Via Mozilla Firefox

Actually, cleaning your browser from garbage is not difficult using the built-in tools of Firefox.

To do this, click on the browser menu button in the upper right corner and go to the section "Magazine".
An additional menu will appear in the same area of the window, in which you will need to click on the button "Delete history".
Expand the tab "More" and check all the boxes except "Site Settings", in field "Delete", set the parameter "Everything". Click the button "Delete now" to start the procedure.

After a moment, all the garbage accumulated in the browser will be permanently deleted.

Method 2: Using CCleaner

The standard Firefox tool does a pretty good job of getting rid of junk accumulated in the browser, but if it doesn’t suit you, you can use special software that will also perform this task.

The CCleaner program is a special tool aimed at comprehensively cleaning your computer from junk. The program also provides the ability to clean browsers. The peculiarity of this program is that it can clear data not only in Mozilla Firefox, but also in other browsers installed on the computer, and the whole process will be completed in literally two clicks.

If you do not yet have CCleaner installed on your computer, you can download it for free from the developer’s official website using the link at the end of the article.
Launch the CCleaner program, in the block "Cleaning" go to the tab "Applications".
In the block "Firefox" check the boxes next to the data that you want to delete, and then click on the button "Analysis". But before you click this button, close all browsers.
The program will begin scanning all marked data. Please note that if you have not unchecked other browsers, the program will also analyze them.
Once the scan is completed, the program will display all data available for deletion. All you have to do is complete the procedure by clicking on the button "Cleaning".

From now on, all browsers, including Mozilla Firefox, will be absolutely clean, which means you have gotten rid of all the garbage.
