Firefox (Flaresolverr?) Temp Files Filling Windows Temp Directory

[stefpap86 0]

Emby Server (4.8.0.21 Beta) running on Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise machine. Recently (only noticed issue after upgrading Windows from 21H2 to 22H2), I've been noticing one/multiple Firefox process(es) are creating 100's of "puppeteer_dev_firefox_profile-******" folders in my C:\Windows\Temp folder. Within a day or so, they total well over 50-100GB and keep being generated until my SSD is out of space. This is happening even when I close or force quit the Emby process. The Firefox.exe process that appears to be creating them is located at C:\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\flaresolverr\firefox\firefox.exe

Any ideas what is causing this or any way of forcing the Firefox/Flaresolverr process to flush the folders once they are no longer in use. It only appears like the most recent 2-5 of these temp folders are being actively accessed by one of the active 5 or so Firefox.exe processes that are originating from the directory referenced above.

Never heard of it.  Is it something you installed as it is not part of Emby?

But looks like you installed something in Emby-Server folder.

Would say uninstall this program and reinstall somewhere else.

Guessing he is trying by pass some sort of cloudflare protection.

Disabled the FlareSolverr service and got rid of the installation in my Emby-Server directory and it stopped. Figured that would do it, just assumed there was some Emby plugin (scraper?) that had installed FlareSolverr.

Plugins generally don't write to main server folder but remain constrained within programdata folder (though that doesn't mean that some wild one didn't).
