  Firefox, however, can be brutal. Move the whole profile (copy+symlink 
is easiest), or maybe start with just moving the cache to the local 
workstation's disk (/var/tmp/?) or /dev/shm/firefox-$USER to keep it 
disposable. The cache directory can be set in firefox under the URL 
about:config -- search for "cache" and note the 
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory option.

I just ran the script I use on our teaching lab file server to cleanup 
Firefox related files and it reduced the space used by the home 
directories by over 66%!   My script removes the urlclassifier3.sqlite 
file as well as the cache files.
