How do I eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite, urlclassifier3.sqlite, places.sqlite-wal?

I want to eliminate the use and creation of big files in the profile - places.sqlite (10MB), urlclassifier3.sqlite (5MB), places.sqlite-wal (1MB)?
Ffor urlclassifier, I tried disabling safebrowsing options (in security menu or in about:config), but file remains. Also if deleted it is still re-created with 5 MB.

Start at http://www.mozilla.com and download the latest
version. '''At the completion of the download don't let the setup start Firefox for you, when the setup ends, start Firefox in your normal manner this way you will be less likely to create a new profile.'''
The extra startup pages are temporary -- read them. The next time
Firefox comes up you should be back to starting with your normal home page.
'''Note: Firefox must be down once the install starts. '''
Close Firefox with File>Exit. Then make sure Firefox is not running --
On Windows: check the "Processes" tab in the Windows Task Manager.
'''On Mac: Firefox > Quit then Command+option+Esc, if Firefox running use Force quit'''
Permission errors on Mac:
'''If you were getting permission errors on a Mac, download the latest
Firefox version, then uninstall and reinstall Firefox. Do not remove
your profile directories and files as they contain your settings,
bookmarks, history, extensions, passwords, and cookies.'''
in any case once you are on 4.0 you might want to take a look at "(fx4)"

  • How do you add full folders and not just individual files in the new itunes?

    How do you add full folders and not just individual files in new itunes? i just reformatted my HD and went to add all my music and it's only letting me add files not folders!?!?

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:

  • I have just been clearing one of my computers ready to sell. I disconnected it from the cloud, and immediately all my files on the cloud appear to have been deleted so that my other computers appear to have lost them too! Any ideas!

    I have just been cleaning a iMac preparatory to sale and disconnected it from me.com then started deteting files. It seems to have deleted everything from the cloud too, so now my other computers cant see the files. Any ideas what I have done and more importantly what I can do to correct things?

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is ituens purchases.  The ipod is not a backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

  • When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year?

    When I look up the creation date for files on my Macbook (using "get info", or the information window in Iphoto) I get the date and month in brackets, but not the year.  Why is this and how can I look up the year? 

    Does the Date Modified column in a window set to List view show the date correctly, or does it also display it incorrectly?
    To add additional columns to a Finder (folder) window, with that window open and active open the View Options for it. You can do that by pressing Command-J or by selecting View Options from the View menu in the main menubar.

    DVD drives read the bottom of the disk, not the top. Smooth out the paper & try again.

    If you never bought the product then you cannot get the serial number.

  • How do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

    how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

    Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
    Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
    sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
    reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
    then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
    Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
    If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

    I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? To create a personal cloud?
    Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:
                                Future Internet connection -------------------TIME CAPSULE (containing all files) -------------- Backed up on the WD 2T Hard-drive I have
                                      (not connected yet)                                         I                                                          (*connected to timecapsule physically)
                                                                                                            I
                    I                                         I                                                I                                                              I                                                I
          Macbook Pro                             iMac                                       HP (PC)                                             OLD Macbook Pro                         iPhone
    (used for remote working)       (Used for home working)     (used for heavy CAD and rendering)    (not being used for anything at the moment)        (& iPods)
    I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
    Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
    I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
    (*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
    Kind Regards
    Joe

    The diagram was supposed to look more like this......
    Internet ---------TIME CAPSULE(containing all files) --------WD 2T Harddrive
                                                I
         I                           I                          I                            I                                   I
    Macbook Pro         iMac                 HP (PC)            OLD Macbook Pro           iPhone
    Sorry!
    Regards
