 It exhibits symptoms similar to vanilla FF in Private Mode -- the API
 appears to exist, but the first call to "open" fails with
 InvalidStateError.

 Tor Browser runs all windows in private browsing mode by default.

 So IndexedDB probably needs to get fixed in Firefox before it will be
 fixed in TBB. Even then, TBB will need to make sure that it respects
 domain isolation.

 So, I've read #16528 and #1633, but I'm still unclear if the current state
 of IndexedDB being broken is intended or not.

 Just to be clear: TB 7.5.5 (FF 52.8.1), IndexedDB doesn't work at all. It
 exhibits symptoms similar to vanilla FF in Private Mode -- the API appears
 to exist, but the first call to "open" fails with InvalidStateError. TB
 has a 'dom.indexedDB.enabled` config boolean. It's set to enabled, yet it
 doesn't help at all.

 On firefox side of things, there's
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781982 - they break IndexedDB
 in private mode *on purpose* and plan to fix this sometime in the future.
 There's also a bug/workaround - IndexedDB in FF private mode is still
 accessible from WebWorkers. Similar fix/workaround IS not applicable in TB
 - again, on purpose, from #16333.

 So, I'm quite unsure what the status here is, but it would be great to fix
 and enable IndexedDB once and for all, as more and more sites rely on it.
