Ten, did you happen to save them to your documents? Never use the down load area to keep something always save it to your documents...... just my 2 cents.

Hmmm... Have to check that, just maybe...

Thanks, that makes me feel a lot better!

You can also set CCleaner to clean your browser every time you exit Firefox.....
Not sure if that is included in the free version though.

It volunteered itself to clean today.
After I had to do a couple restarts.
CCleaner must detect a problem or two.

FF has been messing with me lately. Erratic and slow behavior. Memory hog as mentioned.

I fired up Pale Moon and updated it. Now memory use is down and it seems to be running faster than FF with no erratic scrolling on pages and is loading pages faster.

I hope that this remains consistent.

Since I installed CCleaner, this thread has become my 'memory thread' when I long in.

That free version of CCleaner sure does eliminate a lot of crap that is automatically stored, every time you 'visit' something.
Every time it cleans it show what it will clean, and the one memory is always over a couple million bites (or megabites) or something.
Pictures case a lot of that 'memory' that's used.
