I am trying to solve a confusion regarding times of access to a Win7 machine
Can anyone tell me whether user input (e.g mouse keybd activity) creates/edits this file or if it is solely a FF system file (i.e only FF creates/edits it):
You can open the file yourself with a generic text editor like notepad or whatever MS systems use now.
Reading the file indicates all sorts of things which should explain what it is.
Appears to be a file of function notations and could be Firefox to system and back or maybe network but just guessing.
Doesn't matter what you say, it's wrong for a toaster to walk around the house and talk to you
It looks like it is used to determine if the session had aborted, part of the telemetry collected by Mozilla to determine crash rates. It looks like the file appears within a minute of starting up Firefox, some things can trigger a refresh of the file, and it goes away automatically after Firefox shuts down.
