A:
Well here are the options:
- Setup a server to save the data for the user, and use xhr to create/edit/remove data (Google App Engine (GAE) offers a lot of free storage space).
- Use Web Storage which is implemented in Firefox.
- Use Flash Local Storage.
- Wait until Web SQL Database is implemented in Firefox..
- A mixture of all of the above.
If you write a Firefox extension (or in the future you could make a Jetpack and use the Page Mod JEP 107 which is being developed) then you can also read/write/delete files to the HD.
