Description
In Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome I regularly get the following error displayed at the top of my pages using client-side Less CSS.
QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: DOM Exception 22
http://192.168.0.174:8000/static/css/dbe8f87e058b.css
In Firefox this error appears less frequently, but instead makes the browser window go black instead of displaying the error message. The browser has to be restarted at this point. Memory usage in Firefox is usually at about 2.6GB when this occurs, which is amazingly high. Chrome does not have the same memory issue, but still displays the above error on the pages.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the client-side Less failure at the reported static CSS URL in Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Chrome, while observing the browser and memory behavior described. Compare the browser-specific symptoms and inspect the client-side Less processing path to determine what component is responsible; done means the quota error and excessive-memory or black-window behavior no longer occur.
