Browser space on hard drive

When I open my programmes and features in control panel on my windows vista system, it says that Mozilla Firefox 5.0 takes up 141GB of space on my hard drive, which baffles me, and I would like to know why. My computer is somewhat slow, and would probably be faster with this space freed up, though I'd like to continue to use Firefox as my browser, so I was wondering if you could explain why the browser allegedly takes up so much space

Check your cache, that tends to take up quite a bit of room if its not cleared occasionally.
