Encryption setup doesn't happen about shout-public HOT 4 OPEN

Firefox private tabs don't allow access to the indexed db, which is required. This isn't a shout issue it's a Firefox issue.

it should be fixed in the next version of Firefox, maybe.

Interesting, the Firefox bug is very old (~10 years), good to see that they are finally making some progress.

However, we should add some kind of warning message to the UI when IDB isn't available, maybe even messaging can be enabled for use, but without storage.

I can probably just store the data somewhere else if the indexed dB isn't available.

The data isn't for the messages, I can just store those in Flarum's data. It's the encryption keys that need to persist and be relatively secure.

In that case, web storage might be a better option.
