OK, maybe we should first talk about what the ss is for, what he should do, when it is used & so ...
The ss is necessary, when e.g. a user editing a large text in a wiki, haven't saved that text yet, and closes this page as a mistake. So he can go back / undo close and still have his un-saved text ... The problem is, that the ss save a lot of things to a page ... So a normal search via Google hits the ss with ~500k ... This ~500k are still in the ss when the user close the page or close the browser and restart them ... The ss is not used the know what pages the user had open - this is handled by the history (places). Also the ss is not used to know cookies e.g. of auto-login ... Forgetting closed pages - or the data to a page - would only be a problem is a scenario like this: The user editing a large text in a wiki, don't save it, close the page by mistake, close the browser without undo the close of the page, restart the browser and then try to undo the close of the page and have it old data back. IMHO this scenario is so unlikely, that is makes no scene, to keep a lot of data in the ss for each user by a manual close with the default settings. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
