Off the record, I would like to know if someone can explain me about

 /usr/home/user-name/.mozilla/firefox/caiw5bkm.default/saved-telemetry-pings

A folder which is full of alpha-numerical rows of pings.
Some example given here

1b6d8637-902d-47da-b4e8-6a4e012ae7f3 a120de1e-e0bf-4f89-843b-5cdb1186560f

I put this thread and topic under networking since it is named telemetry-pings.
And how to clear that automatically? Thanks in advance.

From Telemetry pings � Mozilla Source Tree Docs 49.0a1 documentation

So it's the stuff sent to the Mozilla "health" servers and such, for browser crashes etc. These are just the object ID's, the actual objects are stored somewhere deeper in Mozilla as Javascript objects.

The folders will still be created, whether or not you allow firefox to send this telemetry. To disable it entirely, see here.
