1238354 - NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT blocks TweetDeck

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ryo Kato [:r_kato]]

Attachment: mozbug.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Build ID: 20160107144911

Steps to reproduce:

Open https://tweetdeck.twitter.com


Actual results:

As you see in the attached screenshot, an alert tells us that NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT error occurred. Although I closed the alert dialog, TweetDeck's subsequent contents wouldn't be loaded. The error message is:

Fatal error: [Exception... "SQLite database operation failed because a constraint was violated"  nsresult: "0x80630003 (NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT)"  location: "JS frame :: https://ton.twimg.com/tweetdeck-web/web/dist/bundle.b0f89bf484.js line 1 > eval :: getPreviousStorage/usedStorage< :: line 102"  data: no]

I confirmed this issue occurs on
* Firefox 43.0.4
* Firefox 44.0b7
but doesn't occur on Fx45 above (and another browser, Google Chrome).

As the error says, bundle.b0f89bf484.js has been loaded certainly.

And I'm not sure "Fatal error" and "a constraint was violated" imply security problems, but I hope not...


Expected results:

Error shouldn't occur.

I tried reinstalling Firefox, but the situation didn't change.

Without security problems, I'd be happy if you could make this issue be pubic...

Thanks!

I don't think this is a security bug, it's just triggering a quota check in older builds. Might be due to a bug (maybe we can figure out what fixed it in Firefox 45) or maybe just a planned quota change, but shouldn't cause an exploit in either Firefox or the site.

WFM on Fx44b7 Win10, no alert popup.

Can you reproduce it with a new Firefox profile?

Thank you for your kindness! I'm relieved to hear that there would be no security issues.

Thanks to your advice, the alert came not to appear after I refreshed my Firefox. Thank you so much!

Ran into this issue as well today. Works in Firefox Nightly, but not Firefox 43.

Was verifying save issues for https://github.com/taisel/IodineGBA and stumbled upon this. Seems html5 localStorage API **** itself due to some FF 43<->46 condition here.

Seems it's a profile corruption for everyone using FF43 and Firefox Nightly.

In recent versions of Firefox (since 42 or 43 maybe?), I find some sites unusable due to NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT errors. I currently have 43.0.4. For example, when I go to https://jsfiddle.net/, I get this:

NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT: 
var baseUrlOverride = localStorage.getItem("togetherjs.baseUrlOverride");
togetherjs.js (line 85)


NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT: 
...ing")};window.addEvent("domready",function(){var e=document.id("add_external_res...

NS_ERROR_STORAGE_CONSTRAINT: 
...s(e.dataset.id),t.markReadItems()),t.pushMessage("setBadge",{counter:t.currentCo...
app.js (line 1)

and the site can't finish loading. This is just one example, there are many others. Pretty much any site that uses localStorage is giving these errors. I can't find any documentation that explains what this error is or how to fix it. 

I have 2 profiles set up on this computer. One has the errors, the other doesn't. Is there a way I can get rid of the errors without losing the entire profile?
