Hi, sorry about the lack of information, I've pressed Enter before completing the form.
The thing is that sessionStorage is not working, only localStorage.

If I try this:

if(sessionStorage) { alert('ok'); } else { alert('error'); }

This line is ignored but if I change sessionStorage by localStorage it works properly.

That was the only test I made

I am getting OK if I run on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110903 Firefox/9.0a1 ID:20110903030832

Daniel -> is this still an issue with Firefox 6 or the latest nightly?

sessionStorage works fine, although there are several bugs filed for areas that need more work.  Hard to say exactly what this is describing without more information, but possibly an instance of bug 517778 is killing the script before it can alert.  DOM storage is only allowed if configured to enabled (default) and if cookies are allowed for the scope.  It is worth noting that sessionStorage for a particular scope does not exist until you decide to store something in it.
