226567 - cache is lost when the Firebird crashes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105843

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Maciej Chojnacki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

When Firebird crashes (it happens from time to time) I lost the disk cache, so I
have to rebuild it by visiting all the pages once again. For the modem user like
me, it's a real pain in the ass. Oh, and my favicons in bookmarks are also lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Firebird,
2. Visit, say, Google.
3. Kill the browser process and try to visit Google once again.

Actual Results:  
Cache is lost. All images are loaded from network.

Expected Results:  
Well, Firebird should not let this happen :)

The cache is dumped by design to avoid the issues that are opened by trying to
preserve a damaged/crashed cache.  See the duped bug.
