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
Firefox ships with default settings and then queries updates to those
settings via RemoteSettings.
There's some developer info here -
https://remote-settings.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
But not a lot user facing.
The reason removing it works is because we ship defaults.

So basically a cache of settings which can be deleted safely and it then
rebuilds it after FF is started again.
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
My understanding is that "Remote Settings" is the system Firefox is using
to synchronize and distribute preference changes and localized messages
between all of the various processes Firefox is using these days as a
multi-process browser.
