The exact same app when run from a server retains the data between sessions as expected. When run on the same browser (Firefox) and initiated locally, the data is not retained between sessions. 42814 1 bzbarsky 2010-11-28 03:08:06 +0000 The behavior of localStorage for situations where there is no useful origin (such as file:// URIs) is not defined by the spec. That said, what you're seeing doesn't sound like particularly intended behavior in Firefox; can you please file a Gecko bug? 44037 2 ian 2011-01-10 22:14:11 +0000 This sounds like an issue either with the browser or with the file:// protocol spec, if any, not the Web Storage spec.
