1840941 - Firefox logout all sites, when disk size == 0

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1237527

(Core :: Storage: Quota Manager, defect, P3)

Description

[SomeFirefoxUser]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/114.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open the browser. Fill the disk 100%. Restart the browser. And we get "all sites are logged out". This bug is not on the latest version of the browser. He is at least 10 years old

Actual results:

Absolutely all sites are logged out

Expected results:

The lack of free disk space should be correctly handled and not reset everything (I suspect cookies) to zero, which leads to the fact that you need to log in ALL sites again

Hello! Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end on Ubuntu 22.04. I will set a component for this issue in order to get our developers involved.
If it's not the right component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Have a nice day!

Are the origins cleared if there is no more quota?

Yes, I would guess that the code fails to update the cookies database on disk or something which leads to this data loss. I'm not sure how other storage APIs behave in this scenario. Someone should investigate it.

No more quota (managed by quota manager) and no free disk space are different things.

It is very unlikely to even have a fully working OS with no disk space at all. Did you move the firefox profile to a different partition than where your OS lives in order to test this (or used user specific disk quotas at OS level or such) ?

I assume, this is not "DOM: File" specific at all, moving to "Storage: Quota Manager" for now.
