Description
From time to time, loading Element Web can cause Firefox to seemingly deadlock in the IndexedDB loading path of the app.
When this happens, the last lines in the console will look something like:
```
LocalIndexedDBStoreBackend.connect: connecting...
LocalIndexedDBStoreBackend.connect: awaiting connection...
LocalIndexedDBStoreBackend.connect: connected
LocalIndexedDBStoreBackend: loading account data...
LocalIndexedDBStoreBackend: loading sync data...
```
...and then it will just stop there forever.
Even reloading the app will have no effect... the only workaround I know of is to restart the entire browser.
This affects not just myself, but at least several other Firefox users as well.
