Can you please retest with the latest beta (6) to see if this is still reproducible? Thanks.

This is almost certainly bug 1345760.  Specifically, The LocalStorage schema revision was rev'ed to version 2 in Fx55.  Any profile used in Fx55 or later would fail in this way when used under Fx54 and earlier.  Since Fx55 is now released, the problem should be moot for :haik, but I'm duping to bug 1345760 for general tracking.  Certainly ESR52 users will still experience the problem.  The workaround for ESR52 users in such a profile problem should use "about:support"'s "Refresh Firefox" mechanism to migrate their profile backwards in time, as it were.

I'm also removing the high sierra meta bug because this is not platform-specific.  Also also, this is LocalStorage which is currently still Core :: DOM, not IndexedDB.
