    Even though there is almost no useful information in the question, the exception indicates that there is an error accessing window.localStorage. My psychic powers tell me that you are attempting to access window.localStorage in a document loaded from chrome://, probably the browser window’s XUL document. This will not work: localStorage is always bound to a server host name, meaning that you only have it for documents loaded from http://.

    In an extension you can use different mechanisms to store data persistently, most common being preferences.
