#32624: localStorage is not shared between tabs
-----------------------+------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  nDe15o     |          Owner:  tbb-team
     Type:  defect     |         Status:  new
 Priority:  Very High  |      Component:  Applications/Tor Browser
  Version:             |       Severity:  Critical

 Steps to reproduce:
 1. open some web site
 2. open the same page in another tab
 3. open Web Console in both tabs
 4. set `localStorage['test']=1` in the first tab
 4. try to get the value of `localStorage['test']` in the second tab.

 Result:
 The value is undefined.

 Expected result:
 The value is 1.

 Tor Browser 9.0.1. Tested on onion sites with enabled js.

 Please, please fix this, it is very important, I've developed an app that
 relies on this functionality and I didn't expect that there will such
 problems with localStorage. Please don't tell me that this behavior is
 intentional. It shouldn't be for the same origin.
