Currently the timeout is hardcoded, and it means bfcache entries are dropped in 20~30mins
(expiration tracker is based on generations so the time isn't very accurate, given that only 3 generations are used in this case).
I think b2g and Mobile could use some significantly lower value, like 6-9mins, or maybe even
4-6mins.

Patch coming

Keep the old default, but add browser.sessionhistory.contentViewerTimeout pref
to override it and use 360 for its value on mobile and b2g.

This will lead us to evict bfcache entries in couple of minutes, instead of tens of minutes.

doesn't allow one to change the timer period ... when the history tracker is used for the first time
