336837 - microsummary service doesn't guarantee cache loaded before updating

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Microsummaries, defect, P4)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

The microsummary caches local generators in memory on bookmarks-service-initialized and also instantiates a timer that fires 15 seconds later (and every 15 seconds after that) that checks to see if microsummaries need updating, but it doesn't guarantee that it'll finish caching the generators before first attempting to update microsummaries.

The service should wait until the cache is populated before first attempting to update microsummaries so it doesn't attempt to update a microsummary that it doesn't yet have generator for (f.e. on slow NFS-mounted profiles).
