So basically a cache of settings which can be deleted safely and it then
rebuilds it after FF is started again.
I find these unnecessary cache files that can't be removed from UI and
have nothing important in them rather annoying.
It feels like there is security/privacy issue too if you can dig any
history of how FF has been used from those files.

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
