(Core :: Networking: Cookies, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

If cookies for a site are blocked, choosing "unblock cookies from this site" in
the cookie manager submenu does unblock the cookies, but also adds the site to
the list of domains that are always allowed to set cookies ("site can set
cookies" in the cookie manager), rather than removing it from both blocked and
blocked lists and reverting to "ask the user" behaviour.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select "Tools" menu > "Cookie manager" submenu > "Block cookies from this site"
2.Select "Tools" menu > "Cookie manager" submenu > "Unblock cookies from this site"

Actual Results:  
The site is removed from the blocked cookies list but is now listed in the
cookie manager as "Site can set cookies" (ie. cookies are always accepted from
this site).

Expected Results:  
Removed the site from the blocked cookies list ("Site cannot set cookies" in the
cookie manager) only.

The problem can be corrected by opening the cookie manager and manually removing
the site's "site can set cookies" permission.

Dup of bug 205541. Try recent 1.6b, and there is a new "Use Default Cookie
Setting" menu-item.

[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

note that the text now reads "Allow cookies from this site", which clears any doubt
