The reason why some of the .sqlite files are so darn large is partly
the silly pre-allocation that is done on them. This is a pain for
roaming profile environments as well.
What I did when we still used seamonkey in our company:
- download sqlite3.exe and put in a directory in your path (e.g. %windir%)
- in the logoff script call this program to perform some maintenance
on the sqlite files:
cd [your Mozilla profile directory]
sqlite3 cookies.sqlite "delete from moz_cookies where name like '\_\_utm%'
escape '\'; delete from moz_cookies where expiry < strftime('%s'); vacuum"
sqlite3 places.sqlite vacuum
sqlite3 addons.sqlite vacuum
sqlite3 extensions.sqlite vacuum
Maybe you can try this on those new files as well.
