Been getting slow response recently from SM--rotating circle for a while

see a couple of large items in my profile--places and webappsstore
sqlite files.

Also, I have DOM inspector and Javascript debugger both disabled,and
never use them.

Could (should)I delete any of these files? Would doing so create any
problems for me? Other thoughts about the slow response?

All advice gratefully appreciated.

Most .sqlite files (which are actually databases) are likely important.
They include not only cookies (which you might not want) but also your
bookmarks, information on extensions you installed, and permissions you
have granted or prohibited.

The problem with .sqlite databases is that, when entries are removed,
the spaces for the removed entries remain.  Also, Mozilla in its
"wisdom" (??) causes some .sqlite databases to be initialized for more
entries than are necessary.

You might try SpeedyFox from <http://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox>.
This application removes empty spaces and otherwise cleans up .sqlite
databases.  It works not only for SeaMonkey but also for Firefox,
Thunderbird, Skype, and any other application that uses the SQLite
database application.  To use SpeedyFox after you install it, select
SpeedyFox from its menu bar and add the various profiles you want cleaned.

SpeedyFox sounds good. However, when I try to download it I get the message "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred". This has happened numerous times.
Any suggestions?
