I'm confused: is it expected to not have a `startupCache` at all on macOS? Non of my profiles have one. `~/Library/Cache/Firefox/Profiles` is empty, and the folder is not in the main profile folder either.

I tried on a VM with Windows 10 Home x64.

```
版本 	77.0b4
版本 ID 	20200511090718
```

Created a new profile, tried closing and opening several times, interact with preferences. No spikes in memory, it stays in the 250-300MB range.

I tried replacing the `startupCache` folder with the ones provided, but the behavior is the same, no matter how many times I try.

I even tried downloading 77.0b2 [from FTP](http://archive.mozilla.org/pub/devedition/releases/77.0b2/win64/zh-CN/) and keep the network disconnected to avoid updates, the memory usage is even lower (200-220 MB).

```

**EDIT:** ignore the part above, apparently they're hidden on macOS (or, at least on mine).
