Looking at that again - you shouldn't need the converter if you use
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsIJSON#en....
You can write the newline character separately via outputStream.write("\n", 1).

+  converterOutputStream.writeString(line);
+};
+
+Storage.finish = function()
+{
+  converterOutputStream.flush();
+  FileUtils.closeSafeFileOutputStream(outputStream);
+};
+
+Storage.destroy = function()
+{
+  Storage.dataFile.remove(true);
+};
