There are 3 new files in my Firefox profile folder that weren't there a few weeks ago.

These files have weird names with 64 characters and followed by these suffixes :

_lp.key _lps.act.xml _LPPRI.KEY

It seems that they are some sort of authentication.

I'm not sure, but last time I updated Firefox it asked me something about trusting a certificate or something else like that. Could these files be related to the update?

Would be safe to delete those files?
