Unlike IE and Netscape 4.7, the Mozilla history file isn't up to date after a Mozilla crash

Details
I recently entered another bug, where Mozilla would crash after opening up
several tabbed windows from a local news site. I went through several Mozilla
crashes in one day.
It was after the crashes that I realized that both IE and Netscape seem to
update their on disk history files quite often, possibly as you're surfing.
However, it seems Mozilla doesn't update the history file as often, or at least
it updates the history file in a manner where all the most recent entries aren't
preserved on disk. The result is that after a crash, all the urls of the web
pages you had visited just prior to the crash were lost.
It never occurred to me that, while Netscape 4.75 crashed a lot (hence my moving
to Mozilla), the damage actually was quite slight. I could just go back to the
history file and see where I had been. However, with Mozilla, while having a lot
of web pages open with the tabbed windows is quite convenient which means you
tend of have a lot of windows open. But if a crash occurs, it's much more
painful than Netscape or IE since you can't retrace your surfing steps.
