Details

dom.indexedDB.enabled = true
indexedDB.feature.enabled = true

This seems redundant.  Why are there two such settings in about:config?
OS: Android → All
Hardware: ARM → All
Target Milestone: mozilla11 → ---
indexedDB.feature.enabled controls whether the API is exposed on the Window object at all.  But this only applies to content windows; chrome windows always have the API.

dom.indexedDB.enabled controls what happens when you try to use the API.  It looks like this applies to chrome as well, as far as I can tell.
