591471 - Modify Talos first-run to allow startupcache to write itself to disk on a timer.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

[Benedict Hsieh [:benedict]]

Currently, startupcache wants to write itself to disk 10 seconds after startup is complete, so the IO doesn't block startup. In Talos, the browser shuts down immediately after startup, so this write can't happen. The hacky workaround is that startupcache now writes on shutdown as well. The better fix is if Talos first-run doesn't shut down until after startupcache writes out.

Probably not an immediate priority, filing so we don't lose track.

Comment 2

Is this still a desired change?

dwitte, taras, do we want to keep the startup cache write-on-shutdown? If so, this bug can be closed.

Yeah I think that's a reasonable behavior.
