(In reply to comment #1) I already uploaded the patch above. But it seems that I didn't check the question mark as described in http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html#commitqueue.

Comment on attachment 49419 [details] Check for gecko browsers and offers user option to download SQL addon #2 I'm slightly confused as to if this change is just adding marketing for this AddOn, or if this is really the only way to run this demo inside any version of Firefox?

I would be happy if this addon would be obsolete. But unfortunately Firefox does not provide the SQL API. Only the HTML5 key-value pair storage.

(In reply to comment #5) https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Storage says that the SQL API is only exposed to extensions and not to web pages. There is also a lot of discussion about this topic: http://blog.vlad1.com/2009/04/06/html5-web-storage-and-sql/ Currently it seems that the SQL API won't be exposed to web pages in favour of a W3C non-relational storage syntax.

Comment on attachment 49419 [details] Check for gecko browsers and offers user option to download SQL addon #2 There is not a good reason to take this change. This test is supposed to be demo of browser behavior, not a advertisement for an optional add on.
