Note how, in the current code, only *one* old history entry would ever be removed. That would mean that if e.g. the `cacheSize` is reduced, it would potentially require loading of multiple files before the database would be correctly pruned.
Furthermore, in the case where the database was empty on load there's no need to attempt to shrink it, since trying to reduce the size of an *empty* array won't do much :-)
This was added in PR 7793, which has now been present in a number of PDF.js releases (from version `v1.7.225`).
Hence we should be able to remove it now, considering that the migration code was only intended as a best effort solution to avoid wiping out all existing user data at once. Also, keep in mind that `ViewHistory` is already limited with regards to the number of documents it will simultaneous store data for.
Note that these files were among the first to be converted to ES6 classes, so it probably makes sense to do another pass to bring them inline with the most recent ES6 conversions.
Rather than having to manually use `initializedPromise`, which really ought to be a private property, to ensure that setting/getting values in the `ViewHistory` works as intended, this re-factoring simply changes all of its methods to be asynchronous.
Furthermore, a `getMultiple` method (mirroring the existing `setMultiple` one) is also added to `ViewHistory`.
Finally, this patch also addresses an existing issue, where certain preferences (e.g. the default zoom level) would be ignored when calling `setInitialView` if reading from the `ViewHistory` fails for some reason.
Note that as discussed on IRC, this makes the viewer slightly slower to load *only* in `gulp server` mode, however the difference seem slight enough that I think it will be fine.
For consistency, I also renamed the `FIREFOX/MOZCENTRAL` sessionStorage key, but given that sessionStorage is a lot less permanent than localStorage it didn't seem necessary to migrate any existing values.
Fixes 7760.
Currently this constant is present in `viewer.js`, but it is not used there at all. Instead, it is used in `view_history.js` where we have a global for it. We might as well move the constant to `view_history.js` as that is the only place where it is used, thereby removing a global and an unused constant from `viewer.js`.
