Hi!

In the program folder of FF by Windows there is a file called "removed-files"...
This file includes a list with files (rules) that should be removed...
What's about updating this?
I see a lot of (old) files and folders in the profile folders that should be 
IMHO removed to clean up the profiles from old garbage...

Here are some examples:
- c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\firefox\
Seems to be a mistake by a old install?

- 
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zypzyju5.default\urlclassifier.pset
A really old files that was replaced with a new file with a other extension.

- 
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zypzyju5.default\urlclassifier3.sqlite
The new files of the file above, but only in one of my profile folders... So 
why?

- 
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zypzyju5.default\chrome_debugger_profile\
Also only in one of my profiles... Should be kept?

- 
c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\zypzyju5.default\safebrowsing\test-*.*
Gets still daily updated but there are also mozstd-*.* and goog-*.* files...

- c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow\Mozilla\
Created by mistake by a old installer? Gets never used...

- c:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash 
Reports\InstallTime*
Every (daily) update creates a new file... Over time the user (tester) have 
hundreds of them in his folder...

- I see in my profile folders under "Roaming" a lot of other (really) old files 
getting no more used...

- There exist also (really) old extensions in the profiles like the "Update 
Channel Extension" that user should use no more... Is there maybe a solution 
possible that a extension developer can mark his old extension in AMO as 
"should be deinstalled" (with maybe a list of data files that should be deleted 
too)?

Guess that every files that is for FF Versions older then 1-2 years can be 
deleted because this old browsers are no more save, the update/upgarde is for 
free and the user should really update his FF...
(Whats about a message that when a FF starts on a system that is older then 
1-2years that says the user he should really upgrade is FF for free?)
