It's not impossible, but it's much harder to do this in a way that reliably persists through Firefox changes and updates. In comparison, changes to the prefs file are trivially persistent regardless of when and how Firefox is upd

This varies not with the size of the whole hash table, but with the distance from any given index to the first empty bucket. By keeping the load factor constant, you can grow the hash table as much as you want without degrading the expecte
