 > It turns out IndexedDB from worker code was disabled when we set
 `dom.indexedDB.enabled` to `false`.
 It turns out IDB was disabled when it was disabled. Heh. (This ticket is
 fixed :)
 > However, we needed to enable it due to crashes we hit (see: #23745).
 Thus this ticked became invalid.
 > That in turned caused IndexedDB to be enabled from worker code due to a
 bug in Firefox,
 It's a good feature, not a bug, and it's good that it's now enabled in Tor
 Browser, but

 for why it shouldn't be available from PB-related workers.
 > This got fixed in ESR 52.5.2 which is included in Tor Browser 7.0.11 and
 7.5a9.
 And what was fixed in this ticket?
