Title:
  History wiped out if disk full when firefox exits

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Invalid
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If the disk is full when Firefox is closed (or crashes, or is OOM-
  killed by the kernel) the history will be completely wiped out.  This
  is a grave bug as it leads to data loss.

  Of course it can't save the new history if the disk is full but it
  should fall back to the last saved history rather than losing data.
