Do you know a Chrome / Firefox extensions using IndexeDB and Local storage?

I need to see running examples of extensions for Chrome and Firefox using :

1°) IndexeDB 2°) Local storage

I d like to now if the files created by extensions in IndexeDB or "Local storage" have a filename different from the ones created by a website.

For "Local storage" in Chrome, file name starts with "chrome-extensions", and for IndexedDB ? and for Firefox ?

Thanks for help

Yes, extension and webpage data are always separated.

  • IndexedDB in Firefox: extensions have their data in the indexedDB/chrome directory in the profile, webpages under indexedDB/http+++example.com.
  • Local storage in Firefox: data is stored in the webappsstore.sqlite database, scope field determines the origin of the data. Extensions cannot use local storage.
  • IndexedDB in Chrome: extensions have their data in the IndexedDB/chrome-extension_... directories in the profile, websites under IndexedDB/http_....
  • Local storage in Chrome: stored in the Local Storage directory in the profile. Files containing extension data start with chrome-extension_, files containing website data with http_ or https_.
