Firefox addon to view/edit/create localStorage data? [closed]

Answer 1

There is a new extension that is very useful for seeing and clearing localStorage, en mass. It is Foundstone HTML5 Local Storage Explorer.

What's good about it is that it shows all localStorage for every site -- not one site at a time like the other answers to this Q (so far).

Unfortunately, it does not provide an easy way to add or edit localStorage values, but that's not too hard in Firefox, anyway.

To Add, Edit, or Delete individual localStorage values in Firefox (Firebug is not needed):

1. Navigate to the domain in question, for example: http://stackoverflow.com .

2. Open Firefox's console (Ctrl Shift K in windows).

3. Set a value like: localStorage.foo = "bar".  
   Or use localStorage.setItem ("foo", "bar").

4. Change a value like: localStorage.foo = "all day".
   Or use localStorage.setItem ("foo", "all day").

5. Delete a value like: localStorage.removeItem ("foo").

Answer 2

I've created a Firefox add-on to provide functionality similar to Webkit's.

You can find the add-on here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firestorage/

Let me know what you think.

Answer 3

You can also use the "Offline Data" bookmarklet to quickly inspect localStorage, sessionStorage and cookies stored by a web page: http://deceptiveweb.com/blog/examine-offline-data-bookmarklet/

Answer 4

Or you can use the Storage Inspector of the built-in Firefox Developer Tools (is disabled by default so you need to enable it in their settings under Default Developer Tools > Storage).

Answer 5

That's easy to dump in built-in Firefox debug tools, just type in console:

console.dir(window.localStorage);

you can also use Steve Souder's Mobile Perf javascript plugin

mobile perf plugin

He gives you a browser link you can click on any website to get javascript debugging tools.

Storager provides local and session storage viewing, It also allows you to export to jdrop website to inspect contents remotely, which is great for debugging local storage on mobile devices.
