“Failed to open indexedDB” error in Firefox when trying to g

[johncogan]

I've build a simple system that allows a person to add a note for a webpage. This works flawlessly for Chrome (Version 72.0.3626.109) but when in Firefox (Version 65.0.1) it is giving me an error in the developer console.

Code: Select all

    error: true
    ​message: "unknown"
    ​name: "indexed_db_went_bad"
    ​reason: "Failed to open indexedDB, are you in private browsing mode?"
    ​stack: ""
    ​status: 500
    ​<prototype>: {…}

Debugging this in the Firefox dev console the error is thrown when attempting the `get` call in this javascript function:

Code: Select all

   function pouchDbGetNote() {
            notesDb.get(notesData.noteDbEntryId)
                .then(function (response) {
                    returnNoteData(response);
                }).catch(function (err) {
                    console.log(err);
            });
        }

Please note that when the page is loaded, just prior to the `

Code: Select all

pouchDbGetNote()

` function is called I load the DB via the following:

Code: Select all

  // Create/get database
        try {
            notesDb = new PouchDB(notesData.db_name);
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
   
        pouchDbGetNote();

I've dug around in google and have found no real solution other than suggestions that its fixed with a Firefox upgrade and hints that this used to affect IE/Edge also.

The call above is held within a `

Code: Select all

jQuery(document).ready(function () {

` block.

This will be better in our Web Development forum, so I am moving it there.

What about the question posed in the first quoted section:

​reason: "Failed to open indexedDB, are you in private browsing mode?"
