I don't install Mozilla on any of the PC's.

   There is other stuff that can grow.  There are apps that don't use the
profiles correctly.  Mozilla is an example.  It places its Internet cache
in a directory that would roam.

  Hmmm, must have been something else that did roam then -- I had roaming
  profiles that kept growing -- to the point that they were totally
unusable.

    And I move it somewhere else. (for security/speed reasons.)

    Temp in the user profile's a real b&^%$ if you have roaming profiles.
(And
  I
    turned those off for that and other reasons.)
