Ah, this seems to happen on any sites. The code snippet included in the zip would reproduce the problem on example.com if pasted in the console.

Adjusting title.

Is this related to IDB not being supported in PB? It sort of feels like it's working as intended ...

AFAIK, "Never remember history" is basically private browsing outside of a few specific instances not having to do with IDB. Along with that, the "A mutation operation..." error message is used when NS_ERROR_DOM_INDEXEDDB_NOT_ALLOWED_ERR is thrown, which is the error we use for private browsing IDB currently. So this is working as intended until we get IDB in PB working.

I'm going to close this but if there's something we're missing, please re-open. Thank you.

Marking as depending on the IDB in PB bug, just to remind myself to write a test for this case once we get PB IDB done.

3 years later, this is still a bug.
