Added 
#if !PLATFORM(JAVA)
    // FIXME: We should consider supporting access/modification to local storage
    // after calling window.close(). See <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135330>.
    if (!page || !page->isClosing()) {
        if (m_localStorage)
            return m_localStorage.get();
    }
