But it's not possible.
all local stuff happens in the browser, beit firefox/chrome/Edge/etc. they
do not even have gambas.
the gambas stuff can only happen on the server then the html/javascript
data is sent for your browser to read.
All the browser can do is html/Javascript.

gb.web.gui (although i've only just started to learn it) seems to be one
big gambas to html/javascript converter.
all the gambas forms/objects/events/etc are converted to html/javascript
code then sent from server to client.  technically nothing gambas happens
client side (locally).

you can use a javascript routine locally to upload to a writable folder on
your server then refresh the page set to read said data.
