chromeappsstore.sqlite
I just noticed an unfamiliar file in my Firefox 6 profile, chromeappsstore.sqlite. What is that for?

Something to do with eventually supporting installing webapps directly into the browser, I think.

Re: chromeappsstore.sqlite
Break-down the name.
chrome - the UI
app - application, as in web app
store - data store / database
localstorage/DOMStorage was originally part of the HTML5 specification, for use in web apps. So that quote means that chromeappsstore.sqlite is used as part of the localstorage/DOMStorage implementation used by the about:* pages.
For example, the values currently in mine are:
The CSV fields are scope, key, value, secure, owner
chrome - the UI
app - application, as in web app
store - data store / database

Re: chromeappsstore.sqlite
I disabled DOM storage, so why would that file be there, if it collects data?
I got another answer from another forum. That answer was that it controls the search container in about:home. No details were given, however.

Re: chromeappsstore.sqlite
I'm guessing the DOM Storage preference only controls the web-facing DOM Storage.
As I've already said, given that the file is named chromeappsstore.sqlite, it's probably used by the DOM Storage available internally to chrome/UI components.
EDIT: and indeed there is a webappstore.sqlite file, which is used by the DOM Storage available to web pages.
