[Bug 663082] [NEW] Stores session every 10 seconds, causing high disk-usage

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

By default, browser.sessionstore.interval is set to 10000 milliseconds,
which is 10 seconds.  This means the disk is waking up every 10 seconds
as long as Firefox is running, which means the disk can't really sleep
(bad for power usage), lots of extra cycles for SSDs (bad for
longevity), and degraded performance due to near-constant I/O.

The number should be raised, perhaps to 30000 (30 seconds) or maybe even
60000 (1 minute).
