[BUG] Browser widget implemented without access to localStorage API

[panagiotis merakos]

I realised my previous reply was sent only to Andre, so I am posting it
again for anyone else watching the thread and/or suffering from the same
problem:

---------------------------------
Hi Andre,

No I am not aware of any issue. I saw your report about the
javascripthandlers not working on Android. I did a quick test using the
stack attached to bug https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19666,
and it works as expected on my Android phone.

If you could attach a sample stack to your report, we will be able to
isolate the problem faster.

Best,
Panos
