Error message : dbCreate: Error opening db undefined
I am trying to run a greasemonkey script in firefox 47.01. This is the script in question : https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=85761
The error console keeps showing me this error message however :
dbCreate: Error opening db undefinedSmartSearch_1.2.3.user.js:634:3 UnknownErrorSmartSearch_1.2.3.user.js:655:18
I talked to the author of the script and he said that either my IndexedDB was broken, or my localStorage was broken. How do i check whether these two are working on my firefox installation?

Anyone?
Did this script stop working for you recently, or has it never worked for you?
Line 655 appears to be this:
var dbRequest = window.indexedDB.open("SmartSearchDb", 2);
IndexedDB is enabled by default. Do you want to check the settings here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste indexed and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If any preference are bolded and "user set" to non-default values, you can right-click > Reset those preferences to return them to their default values
Otherwise, I don't know what you would check.
Lots of sites use local storage, also known as DOM storage, including this one. I doubt that is broken in a big way or you would know. Make sure you do not block a site from setting cookies, as Firefox also uses that setting to block local storage.
It has never worked for me.
I checked about:config and all the indexed values were set to default.
I didn't block the site manually from using cookies, but i do have some extensions that might have done that. Im using better privacy and self destructing cookies, but those are only supposed to work on cookies itself and not localstorage if im not wrong.
BetterPrivacy is not related to Firefox cookies or storage, it is to manage Flash Local Storage Objects (LSOs), sometimes called Flash cookies.
The description for Self-Destructing Cookies says: "Fix the web. Gets rid of a site's cookies and LocalStorage as soon as you close its tabs." But I don't think that would block it from working while you are using the site.
Hmm...
