1236407 - Add support for nsICookiePromptService

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

Firefox for Android does not currently support nsICookiePromptService using native components. The toolkit system still uses a XUL dialog, which I am going to remove.

I don't remember ever seeing a bug about the Cookie Prompt, but we should probably make an override componet that displays a simple native UI.

Hello, I would like to take this bug. I have read the description, but I am not sure what I should do. I am beginer. I have downloaded source codes and tried to make front-end build.

Could you outline a more detailed steps involved to do so. Could you show which part of codes need to be edited(a link).

Sorry for the confusion, but I don't think we actually want to go ahead and fix this bug. 

I see that this code is actually unused on desktop now, so I filed a bug to just remove it, rather than add our own support for it (bug 1255149).
