[Bug 1401045] [NEW] Tab previews should be cached on disk

 

Public bug reported:

With the current tab preview implementation, previews are displayed only for tabs that have an active webview. Since we currently limit the number of webviews to 2, that means that other tabs don’t get a preview.
Similarly, when restarting the app after closing it, only the preview for the current tab is visible in the tabs view, because other webviews haven’t been instantiated yet.

We need a mechanism to persist previews on disk so that their
availability isn’t tied to the actual webview.
