Current Behavior

Test fails to start with different errors based on browser:

  • Chrome:
    Failed to set customTextSettings in localStorage: Local storage is full. Please clear some space and try again.
    
  • Firefox
    Failed to set customTextSettings in localStorage: Unknown error occurred
    
Expected Behavior

the test should start without error

  2. Press "change"
  3. Press open file
  4. Upload a looong wordlist (example with about 5 mil characters here)
  5. Press "ok"
  6. See error
Environment
  • OS: Windows 11 (tested on linux too)
  • Browser: Zen/Thorium both tested on both platforms
  • Browser Version:
    • Zen: 1.12.8b (Firefox 138.0.4) (64-bit)
