I don't think we should expect our users to traverse the directory
structure at all. We need to expose UI to manage sites in
about:preferences or equivalent.

I suspect this will be HTTPS restricted simply because it is about
persistence, but soon every site will have easy access to HTTPS. So if
indeed all sites end up asking for this we would need to think of a
better model, but I doubt that will be the case.
