I feel tasks related to this topic are enough to create a meta bug, so let's do it.

Is the intention to enable this on Android as well? I'm asking because I've seen some desktop session store changes related to this and I haven't seen any equivalent changes being made on Android as well.

Bug 1340828 will probably help there, but I guess some further changes are needed for this to properly work...

It was mainly for out-of-process prerendering use case so we didn't have any plan for Fennec as it's not e10s yet. In addition we're not actively working on prerendering stuff recently after blink announced their intention to unship prerendering and claimed prerendering benefits very few navigations [1].

GroupedSHistory could potentially benefit some other cross process navigation use cases in e10s or e10s-multi, but at this moment we don't have clear plan on adopting GroupedSHistory in other use cases either.

After looking a bit further through this subject, I suspected that this might be only relevant with multiple processes, so thanks for the confirmation. That means I don't have to worry about it for the time being...

Marking all [meta] bugs as P3.
