It doesn’t seem to be documented very well but I think purgeHistory() returns a DOMRequest object (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMRequest). I would try changing your code to see if you are getting an error like: var domReq = iframe.purgeHistory(); domReq.onerror = function() { console.error(this.error.name); } You can maybe get more ideas from reading the Browser app source: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/browser/js/browser.js#L1847 > > Thank you in advance, > > [1] > https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLIFrameElement.purgeHistory > [2] > https://github.com/pablobm/fxos-experiments/blob/master/iframe/manifest.webapp > > -- > Pablo Brasero Moreno > pa...@pablobm.com > _______________________________________________ > dev-webapps mailing list > dev-webapps@lists.mozilla.org > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list dev-webapps@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
