What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Window: storage event

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Updating sessionStorage is not firing storage event. Only updating localStorage fires the storage event.

What did you expect to see?

When I update sessionStorage on one tab, the storage event (similar to the one that is fired when I update the localStorage) should be fire in the other tab with the same url.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

I tested on local machine

Do you have anything more you want to share?

Two browser tabs with the same URL still have conceptually distinct sessionStorage. That's not how you use the storage event. The only way to have shared sessionStorage is to use iframes on the same tab.

We can probably have an example and more clarifications.
