DOM storage is part of the spec. We can't just junk it. There is at least one bug open but I was unable to reproduce it so far:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1305624

It is valid but somewhat rare. There is at least one other bug report about storage not cleared. When I find some time I will look into it. The apis changed and even Firefox didn't clear everything until recently.

When I ask SeaMonkey to clear my private data, it should erase:
[ ] Browsing History
[x] Location Bar History
[x] Download History
[x] Saved Form and Search History
[x] Cache
[x] Cookies
[x] Offline Website Data
[ ] Saved Passwords
[x] Authenticated Sessions

Hmm. I tried clearing all, but they didn't make my webappsstore.sqlite
file smaller at all. I guess I will have to delete this file manually. :(

I created a .bat file to delete all instances of webappsstore.sqlite, an
instance in each of my five SeaMonkey profiles plus one instance in my
single Thunderbird profile.

I don't understand why SM doesn't clear this file since it can cause issues like I ran into yesterday with https://flickmetrix.com. I wonder what other web sites had issues because of this file. :(

Also, I found https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=857888 (webappsstore.sqlite is larger than it should be). Not big as mine though.

I also was going to write up a suggestion report about having SM clearing this webappsstore.sqlite file in its clear my data option, but my old Mozilla's Bugzilla account was disabled due to e-mail issues ("Your Bugzilla account has been disabled due to issues delivering emails to your address..."). Argh! :(
Due to the fact that we can remove this file (webappsstore.sqlite) without any side-effect .. why SM needs this file ?
