How to get old subscription data when using pushsubscriptionchange

I am saving subscription endpoint, auth and p256dh keys in a db, and I wanted to implement pushsubscriptionchange event on my service worker to resubscribe and update the old subscription I have in the db when it expires, but I can't find a way to get the old subscription data. I am using this simple code to test it.

self.addEventListener('pushsubscriptionchange', function(event) {
    console.log('subscription expired');
    event.waitUntil(
        self.registration.pushManager.subscribe({ userVisibleOnly: true })
        .then(function(subscription) {
            console.log('subscribed again');
            // send subscription data to server to update database
        })
    );
});

To trigger the event in firefox I remove the permissions and grant them again, the event fires fine but I can't find any information that would let me know the old subscription data so I can delete/update it on the db, so I will end up with expired subscriptions plus the new ones.

How can I get the old subscription data?

Forgot to add, I have no other way to identify the user, they are not registered and it's not an app, just a website.

This might have changed since the original answer. At least the documentation of mozilla states that there is event.oldSubscription on the event object.

You can't. Any browser pass params in the pushsubscriptionchange currently.
