The bookmarks cache is not reliable with a concurrent async API, before we use the new API in the product, we must remove the cache.

A DXR link and a mentor here would make this a good mentored bug, I bet!

Sure, we must remove code from nsNavBookmarks.h and nsNavBookmarks.cpp
Anything that refers to:
BookmarkKeyClass
mRecentBookmarksCache
mUncachableBookmarks
RECENT_BOOKMARKS_INITIAL_CACHE_LENGTH
RECENT_BOOKMARKS_THRESHOLD
BEGIN_CRITICAL_BOOKMARK_CACHE_SECTION
END_CRITICAL_BOOKMARK_CACHE_SECTION
ADD_TO_BOOKMARK_CACHE
ExpireNonrecentBookmarksCallback
ExpireNonrecentBookmarks
ExpireRecentBookmarksByParentCallback
ExpireRecentBookmarksByParent

and any supporting code

BookmarkKeyClass is a class, Should i remove it also.

> BookmarkKeyClass is a class, Should i remove it also.

yes, it's only used by the cache.

You asked me on IRC about mCacheObservers, this is a different cache that we still need (category cache).
I asked about mCacheObservers on IRC (unless Himanshu Singh asked as well). If Himanshu Singh wants to take up this bug, I'll stop working on it.
I am new to fixing bugs. I have removed the Bookmarks cache code from the main code.Please guide me what further I can do?

Hi, Is there anything else I can do to help you? do you need any further help with the patch format?

Taking this bug as we unfortunately didn't hear back from the contributor and it's blocking the Bookmarks.jsm transition.
