DB Open fails on Firefox >= 43.x and Dexie.org lib

[ilDon]

I use DexieJS (dexie.org) to handle all Indexeddb activities (db open / queries / etc.) and I've noticed that there might be a bug when using IndexedDBDShim.

On Chorme, Safari, and Opera, everything works as expected on WebSQL, but then on Firefox I get the following error:

Error: Database not open. Following error in populate, ready or upgrade function made Dexie.open() fail: TypeError: window.openDatabase is not a function

As of now, I have solved it wrapping thew whole code of IndexedDBShim inside a condition:

if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('irefox') < 0){
    // IndexedDBShim library
}

However this doesn't seem as the best solution ever. I believe that there must be some issue in the way the polyfill is triggered.

A number of changes are present now in master. I'm not sure how they will affect your issue, but if you wouldn't mind trying it and reporting back, it'd be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply, I ended up not using IndexedDBShim with firefox, but I'll do some testing asap to give you a feedback on this :-)

We have a new release candidate (currently no. 3) available for testing. Dexie also now gives new advice on use with our shim. This should be fixed, so closing, but feel free to reopen if you encounter issues.
