As per https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924160#c0, there's some interest in using wireframes as a low fidelity preview of history content, and it seems feasible that we could turn on the collection from a performance standpoint, if it's useful. I have a patch that renders the wireframe as SVG when an image thumbnail isn't available (for example, when previewing an unloaded tab). It won't do anything unless if someone manually flips browser.history.collectWireframes, but it'll make it easier for a couple people to test the functionality out if we get a basic UI landed.

Setup for testing:

  • Download latest nightly
  • Enable "Open previous windows and tabs" in about:preferences
  • Switch browser.history.collectWireframes=true in about:config
  • Restart

STR:

  • Browse across multiple tabs
  • Restart
  • Hover an unselected tab

This should render the wireframe instead of the live thumbnail, since the page is unloaded.
