Details

(Keywords: feature, meta)

There are various improvements around storage we should make in Gecko to make the web platform a more happy medium, here are some of the areas we can improve: * Consolidate storage features. At the moment e.g. localStorage and IDB live in their own world. Rather, cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, IDB, Cache API, service workers, history API, notifications API (once we add storage), filesystem API, and application cache all need to sit together and honor the same rules. * Improve storage UI. E.g. when the user runs out of disk space they should have a way to free up more by removing some persistently stored sites easily.

:overholt I suggest we close this bug, create more focused METAs and keep high level documentation to the wiki. Any objection?
Flags: needinfo?(overholt)
That seems fine to me, please do link the new METAs and wiki page from here.

:janv, I think most of the bugs linked here could be better linked to other (more recent) meta-bugs like bug 1445464, bug 1513881 or even bug 1593365. Such that we can close this very generic "Improve" meta-bug.

I'm not sure if we can close this one, I think it's quite useful. I'll let Anne decide.

Flags: needinfo?(jvarga)

So I'll nag him ;-). Anne, in an ideal bugzilla world, improvements on storage should be this query. What additional information/value does this meta-bug provide us? I see no discussions here, just adding of bugs.

Flags: needinfo?(annevk)

I think the main thing that does not track is the interdependent things, such as bug 1421690, some improvement suggestions such as bug 1305665 and bug 1296592, and potential security problems such as bug 1383656. And for better or worse, meta bugs are a nice place to collect such bugs and make them easy to find later. (I personally rarely use queries as they get rather unwieldy which makes them trickier to share and get autocompleted in the address bar.)
