What is 3870112724rsegmnoittet-es.sqlite

[Timo Pietilä]

Hello.

I have in my TB a 3870112724rsegmnoittet-es.sqlite file on TB
profile\storage\permanent\chrome\idb that keeps on getting bigger and
bigger. What is that file? It doesn't seem to be anything important
since I can delete it and absolutely nothing happens in my mails or
anything else. Is it just some bloat that has no purpose?

It's bad that it keeps on getting bigger and bigger because it resides
in roaming profile and anything unnecessary that fills roaming is bad.

I can confirm this file, but i and my users have files that range from
some K to 2-3M, no more that that.

File esist also for Firefox.

This is a general topic and i agree, i've also fired up this:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1635380

Thunderbird need to be more polite about what is 'profile' and waht is
'cache', and act accordingly.

10MB for TB now, 11MB for Firefox. In Firefox I have a lot of plugins,
in TB only one (tbsync for syncing outlook calendars).

Agreed.

For that tb cache I have defaultpref a pref that turns global search off.

defaultPref("mailnews.database.global.indexer.enabled", false);

and locked offline downloads:

// These will disable offline downloads

lockPref("mail.server.default.offline_download", false);
lockPref("mail.server.default.autosync_offline_stores", false);
lockPref("mail.provider.enabled", false);
lockPref("mail.cloud_files.enabled", false);

Without those prefs a new user with roaming would immediately fill it
when (s)he installs TB.

It's not a file that Thunderbird creates on purpose. From what I can
tell it *seems* this is a file that can get created by sqlite in some
error situations (i.e. crash during db operations).

Could be instead IndexedDB?!
