hello, does anyone know of a working example of the File Storage working with file handle https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/File_Handle_API#File_storage ?

This line is failing:

var store = DB.transaction(['files'], 'readwrite').objectStore('files');

failing with this message: 

   NotFoundError: The operation failed because the requested database object could not be found. For example, an object store did not exist but was being opened.

Note that it isn't guaranteed that all examples work with your outdated Firefox 45.2.0 version.

Did you test this with the current release (54.0.1)?

Thanks, though, you actually linked my own (unanswered) question on stack overflow. ;D

Thanks, I did try it in the new release and I get the same road block there. I'm sure this is not a commonly used, if used at all, function but I was hopeful someone out there had a successful implementation they could share.... and there probably is but they don't have ears here.

btw... that v45.2.0 is our wonderful ESR version. Nothing like living in the past to be more secure! I'm thinking about just unplugging the cable to be almost fully safe on the network. :D
