A 2013 dev-platform thread ("Storage in Gecko") spawned bug 866238:
Implement simple key-value store module on top of indexedDB for storing
small amounts of data.

We do need a performant key-value store implementation. This has been
discussed before and various people have come up with proposals
(myself included), but no one has had the time & focus to see it
through to the end :/
I suspect part of the problem is that different use cases (IndexedDB
re-implementation, prefs, simple storage, etc) have different
requirements so no single solution satisfies everyone. I doubt I'll
have time in Q1 but this is definitely something I want to do, or help
out with, if some one else would like to step up.

However, it would be cool if we fixed our IndexedDB implementation
rather than told our own developers not to use it. Web developers are
not so lucky as to have other options.
Yeah and we're making some pretty heavy use of it within Firefox OS.
I've spent some time trying to reduce its memory footprint (e.g.
including sending PRAGMA shrink_memory commands when low on memory or
when an app is sent to the background) but we really have no way around
using it. Any optimization effort for small & very small databases would
be very welcome as those are rather common AFAIK.
