Steps to reproduce:

Every site that requires a significant amount of local storage (Discord, Mega, most storage providers, etc) now breaks consistently once Firefox stores enough data from it.

Actual results:

Logging into multiple Discord accounts, viewing a lot of files on Mega, or similar behaviors end up culminating into a "DOMException: The quota has been exceeded." console error, and the site no longer working.

Expected results:

Whatever limit the recent updates have set for local storage seems to be way too low to work, or doesn't get flushed frequently enough not to cause issues.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Storage: Quota Manager' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Storage: Quota Manager
Product: Firefox → Core

Hi striborgvidya, can you please check if bug 1733054 comment 4 works around your issue? I assume this is a duplicate of bug 1733054.
