Here is a long profile of Firefox showing only about:blank with the user away for multiple hours, with the new markers from bug 1817034: https://share.firefox.dev/3lFS3DK
The new markers show that there are 3 repeating 300s timers called "DataStorageTimer".
Reading the code, it seems this repeating timer is added unconditionally during initialization at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/66aa740e65a343659a7446b890145781f1b6a344/security/manager/ssl/DataStorage.cpp#178-181 and then in the timer callback there's an early return if there's no pending write: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/66aa740e65a343659a7446b890145781f1b6a344/security/manager/ssl/DataStorage.cpp#689
Could this be changed to use a one-shot timer, that would be started when mPendingWrite is set to true?
