Well, if it's sqlite databases you're worried about, then install
"sqlite3" package, shutdown firefox (important!), and run something like this:

for x in $(find .mozilla -name '*sqlite'); do
	sqlite3 "$x" "VACUUM;"
done

But I prefer another approach - the only things that's I actually need
in Firefox profile are prefs.js file maybe addons. Meaning that yes, I
*do not* need history, cookies and all these HTML5 databases that
Firefox persistently stores there for reasons unknown.

So I just remove anything unneeded from .mozilla/firefox periodically.
