[..] Web SQL Database was a prior API developed by Apple.[12] But Firefox refused to add support for it and argued against it becoming a standard because it would codify the quirks of SQLite.[13][14] It was thus deprecated in favor of IndexedDB.[..]

Mozilla again.. The real joke is, Firefox is now the only(?) browser using sqlite out-of-the-box for internal databases.

nope, chromium too. look in your cookies file

I did, but seems I missed the actual subfolder where the databases are saved. But this makes it even worse. They all have sqlite installed, but offer not API for making use of it. Really missed chance.

Presumably GP meant Mozilla agitated for a Document/KV-store, yet for some inexlicable reason, in their own browser, they chose to implement IndexedDB with SQLite.

They could have used an actual KV store behind it, like chromium did (levelDB IIRC).
