FireFox is writing like 2.43 TB of data to SSD in 24 hours, How to change it?

[aussiekendoll]

Firefox written 2.43 TB to the SSD, its degrading soo fast, is there anyway to change the location of the C:\Users\Xa\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gn523c9n.default-release\sessionstore-backups\recovery.jsonlz4 file saved.

It is the Recovery.Json file which is writing that much data!

I don't want to reduce the time that recovery.json writing to the disk, may be is there anyway to change recovery.json file save location to my HDD?

And I thought I had a tab problem...

Use a portable version of web browser, and save it on HDD or USB drive... It's not like you gain that much time when launching a web browser anyway, so no point in keeping it on SSD.

i have like 1000 tabs opened, so i don't want to lose the session if the system has a BSOD or crash or something, is there anyway to change the location of json files being saved or is there anyway to change the location of appdata to another drive?

Therein lies your problem - why on earth need you that much tabs at the same time? As @RageTester
said just switch to the portable version and use it from the hdd

Backup to Sync. You can restore from history if it crashes.

Are you sure that program measures writes to disk and not just all types of writes including RAM?

1000 tabs open? Just add your urls to bookmark and open when needed. 1000 tabs = lot of disk space. Do you really believe that you can have lot of tabs open and keep cache small?
