In doing some research about this, I came across
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1050588
which lead me to
resource:///modules/sessionstore/SessionFile.jsm
I currently have a previous.js (dated 08/16), recovery.bak and recovery.js
(along with some upgrade.js- files that are dated most recently 07/29)
The recovery.xxx files before FF is launched are dated yesterday (08/19) at
what I guess
was around the time I launched it yesterday.
After launch (today, 8/20, about 15:34), the recovery.xxx files changed to
today's date, about 15:35, but subsequently changed again to 15:59, but have
not changed again (now is 17:22).
the resource: file says that:
previous.js is "Updated whenever we successfully load from `clean`"
and that for each of: recovery.js and recovery.bak
"... this file is therefore removed during clean shutdown"
I must therefore conclude that FF is essentially crashing each time it
shuts down, since apparently 08/16.
I do not quite understand:
" Paths: Object.freeze({
// The path to the latest version of sessionstore written during a clean
// shutdown. After startup, it is renamed `cleanBackup`.
clean: Path.join(profileDir, "sessionstore.js"),
"
as I do not have anything labelled cleanBackup or sessionstore.js anywhere I
have looked...
Once or twice I got the "This is embarrassing" (at which I thought:
"That's funny - FF didn't crash!?!"), but mostly the only difference I
have noted in FF is that when shutting down (File-->Quit) all the tabs
disappear at once, instead of rippling closed from right to left in
maybe 1/2 second(?).
FF is now at 48.0 (48.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1), but all else is as originally
reported.
