My profile directory is weighing in at 13 Mb
Not that diskspace matters. It's so cheap, but anyways. The size of my profile directory is now over 13 Mb. This is of course without my cache directory which I moved outside of my profile directory using the browser.cache.disk.parent_directory pref.

The main reason why I case is that if roaming profile is done, I have to transfers perhaps up to 13 Mb per roaming

Comment by LouCypher at October 20, 2005 09:23 PM | PermalinkBah, my mozilla profile is roughly 3GB (mostly mail, it's a pre-0.8 profile). I'm trying to make it break since years by never deleting anything. But even with several hundred thousand mails it still works. Only backup is a real pain.
heh, I guess I travel lite.. my 7z compressed profile is usually about 800kb.
