1906318 - Tune browser.backup.scheduled.idle-threshold-seconds to a reasonable default

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Right now, we wait for 5 minutes of user idle time before we check to see if we're due for a backup. That might be too long if we want to try to create a backup every hour. In my local testing, this would often result in only a few backups created per day (usually during an extended break or a meeting where I'm not touching the keyboard or mouse).

We'll need to find the right balance here so that we can create the backups at what we think are the right times.

Having done some testing on this for a while with my main profile, I suggest 15 seconds as the default value for now.
