Details

Need to look at what can be done here.

Flags: needinfo?(lgreco)

The storage APIs and their results are never associated to a particular browser window or tab, and so I think that they should not require any special "filtering" for the WebExtensions incognito modes.

As an additional proof of that, the storage APIs are explictly mentioned in the Chrome docs related to the "incognito split mode" as the only APIs that are not behaving differently even in that scenario, from "https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest/incognito#how-to-choose":

 chrome.storage.sync and chrome.storage.local are always shared between regular and incognito processes

And so I think that we may just close this bugzilla issue as "resolved,worksforme" or "resolved,invalid".
