When I Compact Databases in my browsers is there a chance it will do anything harmful?

Should be safe! It's never caused me any problems with Firefox (or browsers based on it), and no problems with Chrome/Chromium based browsers.

The cleaning it does in Firefox was, and may still be a command you could run yourself inside of Firefox, it's just far more convenient to have a cleaning program automatically do it without messing with a long line of code. Thing is unlike SpeedyFox it won't compact the databases ("Sqlite") files every time you run CCleaner, it does it on its own whim and time.

I seem to recall that there was a problem with the way CCleaner worked with the Firefox sqlite database, - about a year ago?

Shouldn't be an issue now.

Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning? See this link:
