Essential features like managing versions of a project are inaccessible with browsers, who have their local dom storage disabled for security reasons.

Steps to reproduce

• Open Firefox and navigate to "about:config"
• Filter for dom.storage.enabled and set it to false by double-clicking the entry
• Open JIRA and try to manage project versions or updating your Avatar image.
  Certainly many more functions are affected as well

Error

• Instead of displaying the screen to manage your versions the UI only presents the "Please wait indicator" overlay.
• The JavaScript console display the following entry

  localStorage is null
  https://www.exxcellent.de/jira/s/en_UKw6luo9/731/6/1/_/download/superbatch/js/batch.js
  Line 389
  

• The UI is fully blocked by the "please wait" overlay and no longer usable

Desired resolution

JIRA must not blindly assume, that the local DOM storage is available.
HTML5 features like these may be inaccessible due to a variety of security/browser/other limitations.
