86260 - add capability.policy tips to relnote for 0.9.2

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Security: CAPS, defect)

Description

[Jubal Kessler]

please add relnote to keyword for this one.

from http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86081

----
Very cool, thanks for the clarification. This ought to make it into the
documentation as a scenario, for instance a paragraph describing the effects of
setting the popup preferences for the following scenarios:

1. "allow all, deny some"
2. "deny all, allow some"
3. "deny all"

Thanks,

Jubal

The text that should go in should include:

-----------------------
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open","noAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.sites","<your site list>");
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.Window.open","allAccess");

Note that windowinternal.open has changed to Window.open.
------------------------

This gives an example of a "deny all, allow some" rule.  More importantly, we
should relnote the syntax change.

there's already a 0.9.2 relnote bug. it would be a lot easier if this info
were added to that bug instead, or mitch could add the info himself to
mozilla-org/html/releases/full-release-notes.shtml if he wants to.

Will do.

Comment 4

[Jesse Ruderman]

Reassigning to myself.  I'll add comments to bug 85563, the 0.9.2 release notes bug.

Comment 5

[Jesse Ruderman]

I attached a comment to the release notes bug, so the syntax change note should 
end up in the release notes for 0.9.2.
