My computer is old and any add-on's take up memory space. Usually these cause other programs to not work. How do I block add-ons?
Anything that occupies more space prevents my ability to use my computer. I have taken off all pictures, all programs which I can delete (including games from the Windows program.) I cannot download any new programs because it it at a maxiumum of 50% space occupied. I have to keep the older Firefox program because they use less space. Every so often I have to delete firefox and return to earlier versions because too much has been automatically added on. Then my computer refuses to work.

You may want to disable the automatic caching in your case and use a lower maximum limit if disk space is tight.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage
Firefox Add-ons usually do not take that much space.
Also, after updating to the latest Firefox, you can consider the Reset Firefox feature via Help (Alt + H) > Troubleshooting Information. You can also try to update via Firefox Help (Alt + H) > About Firefox.
(To revert to the previous profile, close the new profile, start Firefox and choose the *.default profile. While the Profile Manager is open, you can also delete the newly reset profile (the one containing random numbers)).
It would also be a good idea to periodically clear the cache via Tools (Alt + T) > Clear Recent History. Usually the websites cache could be the main reason for the filling up of the hard disk. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:
- Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
- Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
- Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
- From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
- Now click the Clear now button.
Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
