As Alan points out, you can just remove the older kernel packages
that you're not using.

Not much, I suspect. It'll be a bit slower to load stuff that
you've visited before, the first time you go there. It is just a cache
of page elements that you've downloaded (e.g. images, stylesheets,
sometimes whole pages). You can purge it from Edit->Preferences, then
the Privacy tab, and the Clear Now button under Private Data. Clear
the cache and offline website data.
If you visit about:config in your browser, and search for "cache",
there are several settings there that look like they might allow you
to shrink the size of the cache. "browser.cache.disk.capacity" looks
particularly promising.
