Dom.storage.enabled

Background

The Web Applications 1.0 specification defines a mechanism allowing web pages to store information with a web browser (similar to cookies) called “client-side session and persistent storage.” Although use of session storage is subject to a user’s cookie preferences, this preference allows it to be disabled entirely.

Possible values and their effects

True

Enable client-side session and persistent storage for web pages (Default)
