Package: iceweasel
Version: 44.0.2-1

There is an option in iceweasel, under "about:preferences#advanced",
which says "Tell me when a website asks to store data for offline use",
which consists of a checkbox. It is expected that, when the box is
checked, a dialog would appear when a website wishes to store data for offline
use. What seems to happen is nothing: No dialog and no warning.

Steps to reproduce: Check the box as aforementioned, then visit a
website that stores data for offline use. Some examples that are present
in my browser:
