--- Comment #6 from Matthew Flaschen <mflasc...@wikimedia.org> --- > I think this is what the error means exactly. I.E. you can still call the > localStorage API, but it is no longer *persistent* storage. I was wrong before. The browser did not have this behavior of letting localStorage work, but non-persistently. Rather, this is part of jStorage's behavior. It first writes it to in-memory (as Ori said), then attempts to save but suppresses any error (https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/ee5b96fe5df3bfdbc811259230d2f3da7e4ff1b6/resources%2Flib%2Fjquery%2Fjquery.jStorage.js#L444). Related, if it can't save its test on initialization, localStorageReallyWorks will be false and it will fall back. On a modern browser (i.e. no globalStorage or userData), this means it will be purely in-memory ($.jStorage.currentBackend() will be false) Disclaimer: I was using a lower version of Firefox before (I actually upgraded to Firefox 29.0.1 so I could get it to stop on caught exceptions), but I'm pretty certain it was jStorage catching the error in both cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
