Details

Currently mozprofile's permissions helper code writes directly to the permissions database, duplicating permissions database schema logic in multiple places in the code. Instead, mozprofile should generate a hostperm.1 file in the profile directory which can be imported automatically into the permissions database on startup by the nsPermissionManager code.
