Firefox, however, can be brutal. Move the whole profile (copy+symlink is easiest), or maybe start with just moving the cache to the local workstation's disk (/var/tmp/?) or /dev/shm/firefox-$USER to keep it disposable. The cache directory can be set in firefox under the URL about:config -- search for "cache" and note the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory option.

I just ran the script I use on our teaching lab file server to cleanup Firefox related files and it reduced the space used by the home directories by over 66%! My script removes the urlclassifier3.sqlite file as well as the cache files.
