Details

The recent changes to the Updater causes it to leave behind many folders and files in the Temp folder on Windows.

Folders are marked "MozillaBackgorundTask" with cert9.db and key4.db files in them. They accumulate every time Nightly updates and updater does not remove them afterward. As a result these multiple db files accumulate into megabytes of storage wasted. One week of Nightly updates steals 7MB.

Severity: -- → S3

The bug has a release status flag that shows some version of Firefox is affected, thus it will be considered confirmed.
