Details

The thumbnails folder in my Roaming profile is now 370M, which is insane. Looking inside it, it's full of screenshots of pretty much every site I ever visited. I don't even use the New Tab/Home Tab (or whatever you call it) screen, I have it closed.

Advanced->Network->Cached Content claims only 10.2M is in use.
My thumbnails dir is ~730MB. D:
$ find thumbnails/ -type f -print | wc -l
    5371
$ du -sh thumbnails/
732M	thumbnails/
Caused by bug 744388. Duplicate of bug 754671.

It's also used for Tab Groups aka Panorama (ctrl-shift-e)
