Ephemeral sessions should *not* use the storage backend that actually stores to disk. So this bug is, by necessity, more than just "don't disable localStorage for ..." We'll need a mode for localStorage to use an in-memory backing store.

Does such a backing store already exist? It seems sketchy to me that the file-based backend is hooked up to ephemeral sessions right now, and we rely on this check to prevent code from actually using it.

Yes - sessionStorage uses a per-WebView, in-memory backing store. And that's exactly what we'll want to use for localStorage in a WebView whose storage session is ephemeral. This bug is no longer needed. |
