1082338 - 'dom.indexedDB.enabled = false' makes firefox unable to load completely

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1079355

(Core :: Storage: IndexedDB, defect)

Description

[Yohann Jardin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141013104125

Steps to reproduce:

In about:config, add
Preference : dom.indexedDB.enabled
Value : false

Or modify pref.js to add
user_pref("dom.indexedDB.enabled", false);


Actual results:

- On launch, firefox doesn't load past session.
- Nothing happen when I click on the "group your tabs" button
- On new tab page, no sites are pinned.


Expected results:

- On launch, firefox should load past session.
- When clicking on the "group your tabs" button, a new page should appear with group tabs.
- On new tab page, sites in pref.js should be pinned.


Well, I suspect firefox stops to read pref.js at line user_pref("dom.indexedDB.enabled", false);

That pref is not supported.  We should just remove it.
