How to persist data in localStorage in Firefox and Google Chrome?

I try to persist data in the local storage, with localStorage.setItem('key','value') and locaStorage.getItem('key') but as soon as I close the browser everything is deleted, Local Storage is not supposed to be persistent ? :(

Thank you for your help :)

Ps. I use a html file with some javascript, do we need a web server or domain for persist ?

When you open a webpage locally with the file:// protocol the browser won't associate the next opening session with the last one. So it is not possible to use localstorage with local file persistently.

Try JSON.stringify-ing your 'value', eg:

localStorage.setItem("key", JSON.stringify(value));

and

JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("key"));

when getting your values.
