Lots of bad things do happen when the disk is full. (Session Restore doesn't save the session, visited links don't turn purple, etc.) It would be *really* helpful if Firefox would alert users about the problem so they can remedy it ASAP, preferably before Firefox crashes/power goes out/etc. and they lose their session.

This is a grave bug as it leads to data loss. Of course it can't save the new history if the disk is full but it should fall back to the last saved history rather than losing data.
