-	    This issue is the result of using Haketilo in Private Browsing mode.
-	    For privacy reasons your browser blocks access to IndexedDB in
-	    private windows and this unfortunately also affects Haketilo's
-	    settings page.

-	  <p>
-	    You can sacrifice this single privacy feature and enable IndexedDB
-	    access in private windows by navigating to "about:config" in the URL
-	    bar, agreeing to accept the risk and setting the
-	    "dom.indexedDB.privateBrowsing.enabled" preference to "true". Those
-	    pages that have their scripts blocked will still be unable to access
-	    IndexedDB.
-	  </p>
-	  <p>
-	    Alternatively, you can open Haketilo's settings in a separate,
-	    non-private window. The configuration you make there will take
-	    effect on pages opened in Private Browsing mode as well.
