Comment:

 It turns out IndexedDB from worker code was disabled when we set
 `dom.indexedDB.enabled` to `false`. However, we needed to enable it due to
 crashes we hit (see: #23745). That in turned caused IndexedDB to be
 enabled from worker code due to a bug in Firefox, see:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1410106. This got fixed in
 ESR 52.5.2 which is included in Tor Browser 7.0.11 and 7.5a9.
