As many of you know, Session Restore is something of a performance hog, for many reasons – we have reports of. One of the reasons is that we store so very many things in sessionstore.js and sometimes keep stuff for a very long time.
As part of bug 943352 & followup, we are considering automatically cleanup some of the contents of sessionstore.js. Since people have mentioned "webcompat" and "userdata loss" in the context of sessionstore.js, I'd appreciate some feedback before we proceed. So, here are a few things that I believe we could cleanup: 1. get rid of closed windows after a while; 2. get rid of closed tabs after a while; 3. get rid of old history entries of open tabs after a while; 4. get rid of POST data of history entries after a while; 5. get rid of DOM storage contents of open tabs after a while; 6. get rid of form data content of open tabs after a while; ... Note that we don't have space usage number for each of these (bug 942340 should provide more insight). If anybody feels that we are going to break one million websites (or one million profiles), we would be interested to hear about this.
