Maybe I don't quite have the best understanding of what front end and
back end really means...
What I really want is for the preferences of each module to be saved
upon closing the particular module. If I close the Mail / News window,
can't Mozilla assume that I am done with that module and save whatever
settings were changed there? Like I said, I'm not a professional
programmer (yet) and I really don't know how Mozilla opens and closes
files upon opening and closing modules, but it would make sense to me to
keep files closed as much as possible.
