Bug Description

As by your request from the forum report;

https://www.bleachbit.org/forum/bleachbit-112-suppose-delete-mozilla-cache

The steps you asked;

This is strange. For troubleshooting purposes, would you please try two things?

1. Clear the three items from the whitelist, and try either either to clean or to preview. (If the preview works, cleaning should work too.)

Doing step 1. above, should this now delete the mozilla cache, if so this does not work.

2. Click Edit - Preferences - Custom, and add the folder ~/.cache/mozilla. Then check the box System - Custom, and try to either clean or to preview.

For step 2. above, adding a Folder to the Custom will delete it for me, but I didn't think this was needed, and as mentioned in the forum post, I thought option when checked for Firefox;

Firefox > Cache deletes it?
The info says;

Cache: Delete the web cache, which reduces time to display revisted pages.

This delete web cache part has me confused, thinking that ~/.cache/mozilla is deleted?

Hmm
