1621032 - Add a mechanism for reading about:home from the HTTP cache if an entry exists at startup

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, task, P3)

Description

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Just as it says on the tin. This should be as light-weight as possible, and should include tests for the reading of the cache on startup (including handling of disaster scenarios, like a cache having been only half-written during a parent process crash or something).
