Comment (by mikeperry):

 To people who have set the pref - you are very vulnerable to SuperCookie
 tracking. There is *no way* to delete IndexedDB storage. We do not do it
 on New Identity, and Firefox's Clear Private Data does not do it either.

 This is actually happening on a lot more sites, too. It turns out every
 site that uses the Modernizr feature detection library is broken with this
 pref flipped. Should be considered a Modernizr bug, but I bet a lot of
 people sites have pinned their Modernizr versions.
