Constant writes to cookies.sqlite.wal - like 20GB a day.

Hello.

I am trying to figure out why firefox is writing so much data to cookies database.

I cleared all cookies and the amount of data written dropped but not for long. After logging back to gmail and few other sites the amount of writes went back to what it was. 20GB a day...

I dont have many sites open. Literally redit, gmail, few stack exchanges one or two youtube videos. No ai/llm,

How to profile those 20ish tabs efficiently to find what is written to those cookies?

I tried few suggestions already which were supposed to limit the number of writes (the usual session saves, keeping cache in ram etc.) I dont want to move the profile to ram/temp if possible.

I use literally two addons, ublock and foxyproxy.
