Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Seen while testing  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b1) Gecko/20081007 Firefox/3.1b1.

STR:
1. Run https://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=6478
2. Images are not blocked for that page and I get an error in the console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIPermissionManager.add]"  nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/pageinfo/permissions.js :: onRadioClick :: line 127"  data: no]

I get the same error message when I try to block cookies and it doesn't seem to be holding the radio button selection that I make.

I can repro this on linux as well.  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.9.1b1) Gecko/20081007 Firefox/3.1b1

It seems that all the other options under Permissions do not persist the "Allow" radio checkbox after closing the window  (load images, open popups, set cookies, install extensions)

This seems to be a regression, as it works on Fx3.0.3.   Need to find the range.

This is caused by bug 458579 and will be fixed by the patch there.
