(Whiteboard: [fidefe-device-migration])

According to our spec, we want to remake the backup file whenever history and/or bookmarks are modified. We will need to consider the following:

  1. users can clear history in about:preferences using the Clear History button
  2. users can clear recent history using the "Panic"/"Forget" button
  3. we probably don't want to update the backup at every deletion/insertion; we should determine how often to make the backup in a way that is both reasonable and optimized for performance
