We need to investigate whether thumbnails that appear on about:newtab are actually stored in the image cache. There's definitely special handling for chrome:// URLs and http:// work as usual, of course. It's unsure how moz-page-thumb:// URLs are handled.

The moz-page-thumb:// protocol returns a nsFileChannel instance so that we don't need to implement our own protocol. Is this a problem? I don't see any caching in the file channel itself... http://dxr.lanedo.com/mozilla-central/browser/components/thumbnails/PageThumbsProtocol.js.html#l74

joe/jeff, can you guys offer any advice about how the image cache works?

Every image is cached, at least initially. Chrome (defined as chrome:// and res:// URIs) and non-chrome are stored separately. Any image that's currently in use will always be available in the cache, meaning that a subsequent request will not need to re-decode it. The image cache is memory-only.

Mass-move to Firefox::New Tab Page. Filter on new-tab-page-component.
