What are these remote settings? They don't seem to have any impact on TB or FF. Are these some kind of cached settings that for some reason are in permanent storage?

Unfortunately I don't have a better answer. That file is used for our remote settings database which can be that big.

    Unfortunately no such pref exist in TB or FF.

    Also it isn't GB -size large, just 10+MB, but that is large enough to
    cause problems in roaming profiles.

    I just changed all dom.indexed -prefs to false, maybe that helps
    with it
    getting large.

    Maybe I can change permissions do that FF/TB can't write in that
    directory just to see if that has any effect on FF/TB. If it doesn't I
    consider making that change university-wide.
