No, it only cleans the storage directory where IndexedDB and asm.js cache (i.e. QuotaManager data) are stored.
And request: Is it possible for 'storage-cleaner' to run on demand, as well as on exit? Would you consider this?
This add-on is rather a proof of concept than a production solution. Actually this should be implemented in the browser core according the following rules:
- If 'Offline Website Data' is selected to be cleared when Pale Moon closes, then QuotaManager data should be removed as well
- If you manually clear the history (Ctrl+Shift+Del) with time range set to 'Everything' when 'Offline Website Data' is selected, then QuotaManager data should be also removed
Firefox developers are working on this right now, see
bug #1047098.

Thanks to Moonchild this is already available for testing in today's
unstable build (20170921191919). We still have a chance to get it in the upcoming 27.5.0 release, so please verify how it works (without Storage Cleaner, of course).

Just gave it a try using Pale Moon - Portable v27.6.0a1 (2017-09-21), and it seems to work just fine.
Good work! :)
