 In #31396 we set `extensions.webextensions.ExtensionStorageIDB.enabled =
 false` to avoid problems with the new idb storage for extensions and the
 `Services.qms.clear()` that we were doing in torbutton. After #30504 and
 #19417 were fixed, turning that pref back to the default should be
 possible.

 However, we should check that it's not possible for browsers that were
 affected by the original bug (`Services.qms.clear()` clearing the internal
 indexeddbs) to end up in a bad state that the browser cannot recover from.
 We should make sure that the
 `extensions.webextensions.ExtensionStorageIDB.migrated` pref branch is
 cleared so that the migrations are performed on first start after a
 browser upgrade containing the fix.
