1307763 - Error opening IndexedDB

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1314361

(WebExtensions :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Savard]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Try to open an IndexedDB with this standard code fails.

window.indexedDB = window.indexedDB || window.webkitIndexedDB || window.mozIndexedDB || window.msIndexedDB;

var request = window.indexedDB.open("MyDatabase");
request.onerror = function(event) {
  console.log("failure");
};
request.onsuccess = function(event) {
  console.log("success");
};

Note that I also see similar IndexedDB console errors when I start Firefox like below...

Quota 'moz-extension' is not a valid schema!: ActorsParent.cpp:6678 (unknown)
Quota Origin 'moz-extension+++527b42dc-5470-429e-b671-21e36c20085e' failed to parse, handled tokens: : ActorsParent.cpp:6598 (unknown)
IndexedDB UnknownErr: ActorsParent.cpp:584 (unknown)
UnknownError IndexedDBHelper.jsm:71:12


Actual results:

The onerror event is triggered with the following error message:

The operation failed for reasons unrelated to the database itself and not covered by any other error code.


Expected results:

The onsuccess event should be triggered.

Maybe similar to bug 1306596. Could you try to reinstall Firefox (without deleting your profile).

Reinstalling Firefox did not work. (I uninstalled and installed)
I removed my Firefox profile and installed Firefox and now it does work.
Thanks for the tip I hope my feedback helps determine the issue.

For more information to the possible cause - I am a developer and have been loading and unloading a temporary WebExtension that uses an IndexedDB (which also had the same issue), but even after removing it the IndexedDB issue persisted at the browser level and the WebExtension level.
