Bug 1597358 is automatically creating login backups (behind a pref not yet on-by-default) but since this is automatic we should allow the file to be deleted when it's no longer relevant. Some ideas 1. Also remove the backup when the new Remove All option is used. 2. Automatically delete the backup after N days if the user has 0 (user-visible) saved logins at that time. This may be a bit tricky and doesn't help users who uninstall Firefox or don't run it again for a long time. 3. Add an option to delete the backup when the last login is individually deleted e.g. a button on the "no logins view". Katie, what do you think?

Some ideas 1. Also remove the backup when the last user-visible login is removed by user interaction (e.g. Remove All, multi-select removal, or individual removal). KatieC agrees * We don't want to do this if we just have 0 logins because the file was corrupt, this has to be from user action. 2.
