Firefox Storage Access API denies local storage after successful requestStorageAccess() call

I want to test the new Firefox Storage Access API to allow 1st party storage (cookie, local storage, indexeddb, ...) to an iframe of a different domain (but still under my control).

Parent Markup / code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Parent Domain</title>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.2.0/js.cookie.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jschannel/1.0.0-git-commit1-8c4f7eb/jschannel.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>
            Cookies: <ul class="cookie-data"></ul>
        </div>
        <iframe 
            id="rpc-gateway"
            src="http://child.local:8080/iframe-firefox.html"
            sandbox="allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-scripts allow-same-origin"></iframe>
        <script type="text/javascript">            
            var chan = Channel.build({
                window: document.getElementById("rpc-gateway").contentWindow,
                origin: "*",
                scope: "testScope"
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Child Iframe Markup / code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Child Domain</title>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/js-cookie/2.2.0/js.cookie.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jschannel/1.0.0-git-commit1-8c4f7eb/jschannel.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <button onClick="onLoginClick()">Login</button>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            var chan = Channel.build({
                window: window.parent,
                origin: "*",
                scope: "testScope"
            });

            let onLoginClick = function(trans, params) {
                document.hasStorageAccess().then(hasAccess => {
                    if (!hasAccess) {
                        console.log("no access - requesting access");
                        return document.requestStorageAccess();
                    }
                }).then(_ => {
                    document.hasStorageAccess().then(hasAccess => {
                        console.log("hasAccess:", hasAccess);
                        window.localStorage.setItem('foo', 'bar');
                    })
                }).catch((err) => {
                    console.log("hasStorageAccess() failed", err);
                });
            };
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

When clicking on the "Login" button from the Child Iframe, the following log output is generated:

no access - requesting access      # iframe-firefox.html:22:25
hasAccess: true      # iframe-firefox.html:27:25
Request to access cookie or storage on “http://child.local:8080/iframe-firefox.html” was blocked because we are blocking all third-party storage access requests and content blocking is enabled.      # iframe-firefox.html:28:24

The visible conclusion is:

  • The promise document.hasStorageAccess() resolves
  • The hasAccess parameter is initially 'false'
  • The promise of document.requestStorageAccess() is returned and resolves
  • The 2nd promise document.hasStorageAccess() resolves
  • The hasAccess parameter is now 'true'
  • nevertheless, simple storage access to local storage is not possible.

What do I do wrong?
