Description:
When I go to the home page, I get an UnknownError in the javascript console at aboutHome.js:228, which reads
let openRequest = indexedDB.open(DATABASE_NAME, {version: DATABASE_VERSION,
storage: DATABASE_STORAGE});
A pouchdb application I'm developing gets the same "UnknownError" when starting.
I've tried the same thing in a fresh profile but still get the error.
Is it the same for everybody or just me?

Additional info:
* package version: 40.0.2-1
* x86_64,


Steps to reproduce:
- open a new tab in firefox
- show the welcome page (home icon right to the search field)
- open the javascript console (Ctrl+Shift+I)
- I see a single error: "UnknownError"
This task depends upon

Perhaps related to either of these:

Not 1165119: I don't have any morgue directory.
Maybe 1143003: a indexeddb+++fx-devtools directory is created in my storage/permanent dir.

What's strange is that I get the error on a fresh profile so everybody should also see it?!

Here is my fresh profile's contents. The storage/permanent/xxx dirs are created on startup automatically.

I've rollbacked to firefox-39.0.3-1-x86_64 and I don't get the error, on both profiles.
Since other Arch users don't see it, I guess I'll have to move it upstream...

no problem with my configuration ( x86_64 version of firefox )

something is probably different in your configuration, check if you have really tested with a new firefox profile ( run "firefox -p" ),

and check if you don't have hardware problems ( check your ram modules with memtest, your hardisk with a tool like smartmontools ),

you can also test with the official firefox linux binary from the official site, or rebuild the firefox package ( with "makepkg" ) to see if it can solve the problem

It seems to be related to the free disk space.
When a profile is on a disk with 300-4OOMB free I get the error.
When I move it to someplace else where there are at least 6GB free, no error.

Thanks for your help.

I've taken it upstream https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197572
