New description:
Despite setting browser.cache.offline.enable to false, we still get
prompted for allowing offline storage when sites try to use it. Canonical
example: http://html5demos.com/offlineapp
The prompt appears to be governed by browser.offline-apps.notify, which we
don't set.
I am pretty sure that this prompt runs through the permissions service,
which we make memory only (#2950), but we should double check that through
direct test.

Comment:
We should disable this entirely. Users should not be prompted to enable it
until we support it.
