Why is there no preference to disable this?
Why can't there be some "global pref" which just kills all those caches?
Maybe it would be an option to link this with the
"nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache" pref?
I currently killed this anti-developer feature by just replacing this
"startup cache" file with a zero byte file and dropping write permission
for it. Doesn't seem to cause any problems. Doesn't even seem to have
any effect on startup speed...
