Is there a reason why it is in roaming -part of the user profile?
Nevermind, most of things in FF and TB profiles are things that don't
need to be in roaming. They are there for old habit of having absolute
minimum support for windows which is now hard to change without breaking
downward compatibility I guess.
It is just annoying to see that whenever there is a roaming full top two
things that fill it are always Firefox and Thunderbird.
Maybe UE-V will save us from that nightmare.

Firefox ships with default settings and then queries updates to those

There's some developer info here -
https://remote-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
<https://remote-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>
But not a lot user facing.
The reason removing it works is because we ship defaults.

I find these unnecessary cache files that can't be removed from UI and
have nothing important in them rather annoying.
It feels like there is security/privacy issue too if you can dig any
history of how FF has been used from those files.
