So basically a cache of settings which can be deleted safely and it then
rebuilds it after FF is started again.
I find these unnecessary cache files that can't be removed from UI and
have nothing important in them rather annoying.
It feels like there is security/privacy issue too if you can dig any
history of how FF has been used from those files.
