How to view/delete local storage in Firefox?
In Google Chrome there is an easy way to see what's in local storage as well as modify or delete it after inspecting it.
Is there a way to do the same in Firefox?
Solution 1:
You can delete localStorage items one by one using Firebug (a useful web development extension) or Firefox's developer console.
Firebug Method
- Open Firebug (click on the tiny bug icon in the lower right)
- Go to the DOM tab
- Scroll down to and expand localStorage
- Right-click the item you wish to delete and press Delete Property
Developer Console Method
You can enter these commands into the console:
localStorage; // click arrow to view object's properties
localStorage.removeItem("foo");
localStorage.clear(); // remove all of localStorage's properties
Storage Inspector Method
Firefox now has a built in storage inspector, which you may need to manually enable. See rahilwazir's answer below.
Solution 2:
From Firefox 34 onwards you now have an option for Storage Inspector, which you can enable it from developer tools settings
Once there, you can enable the Storage options under Default Firefox Developer tools
