What is Session Restore?
Session Restore is the service that saves the state of Firefox while the user is browsing so as to be able to restore it after a shutdown or a crash.
This service is extremely useful but is also quite expensive. It was designed a long time ago, when users only had a few tabs, when DOM Storage didn't exist and before people started uploading Gigabytes of data. For this reason, it is undergoing major refactorings and redesigns.
This page is about documenting things progressively.
