Even though there is almost no useful information in the question, the exception indicates that there is an error accessing window.localStorage
. My psychic powers tell me that you are attempting to access window.localStorage
in a document loaded from chrome://
, probably the browser window's XUL document. This will not work: localStorage
is always bound to a server host name, meaning that you only have it for documents loaded from http://
.
In an extension you can use different mechanisms to store data persistently, most common being preferences.
