How can I change the location of the dom storage?
I know websites are storing permanent data in profile/storage/default but I wanna change the location to another directory. I don't wanna disable the dom storage, I just want it all to go to another directory of my choice! How do I do that? I checked everything related to dom.storage in about:config but couldn't find any mention of the location. Will it work if I simply add a new value "dom.storage.targetdir"?

I've never heard of a setting to move the contents of
[profile.folder]\storage\default
to another location.
Are you trying to overcome a space constraint?
You can try to use a symlink (or hardlink) to point to that preferred folder to see if Firefox supports this.

No, I have enough space. I simply don't like redundant stuff in my backups, so one possible solution was to move the contents of the dom storage to another directory which wouldn't be included in the backup command. Another possible solution was to remove all https and http directories except two which I need to keep, but I thought moving the dom storage would be easier.
On a forum they gave me another solution to this - to delete all https and http directories except two (where my site settings are stored).
find ~/.mozilla/firefox/profilename.default-release/storage/default -type d -name http* | egrep -v "duckduckgo.com|twitter.com" | xargs rm -rf && profile-cleaner f
After that comes the profile backup command.
