Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150820233428

Steps to reproduce:

sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=501M tmpfs /tmp/fx2/
firefox -p
create a new profile in /tmp/fx2
open the Javascript console on the home page



Actual results:

I get an Unknown Error in the console


Expected results:

- The error message is not "Unknown Error" but "not enough disk space"
- it's not triggered when there are 500MB free!
I know this is due to indexedDB because I noticed the error first when developing a web page using pouchDB. It would show this Unknown Error upon IndexedDB.open(...)
