Add tooltip to X icon in control center

Hover tooltip should read out:
"Remove permission and ask again"
Component: General → Site Identity and Permission Panels
To fix this bug you need to add an attribute "tooltiptext" with above text to the (x) button that is used to remove web permissions. (You can find it by going to e.g. https://permission.site, "Always Allow" some permission and clicking the (i) icon in the upper left corner of your browser).

A good place to add the attribute would be here, right below the "class" attribute: http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/b38dbd1378cea4ae83bbc8a834cdccd02bbc5347/browser/base/content/browser.js#7361

You can't simply assign the attribute the raw string, because we need to put it in a translation file for translations. The file you should put the actual text in is http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/browser.properties, you could maybe name the key "permissions.remove.tooltip".

To see how to retrieve this for usage in your code check out http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/b38dbd1378cea4ae83bbc8a834cdccd02bbc5347/browser/base/content/browser.js#3021

How is this different from bug 1296707? Is it just a duplicate? If so we should mark it as such instead of tracking the same thing in two bugs.

Yup it's a duplicate, my bad, I didn't notice it :)

Hey 7, thanks for contributing. Your patch looks great to me.

Since I'm not a browser peer we need someone else to give this a final look. How about Panos?

I have concerns about "Remove permission and ask again":

1. I think "ask again" might raise more questions than it clarifies. E.g. when will Firefox ask again, to what end...?

2. "Remove permission" feels a bit weird when the permission was denied, i.e. the state is "Block" and there's no permission to remove.
Hmm, how about something like "Clear this permission setting"?

I concur with Johann :)

This is ready to land once we have the final wording for the string.

I think 'ask again' is important because users need to know how they'll set it again. I'm okay with 'Clear this permission and ask again'

Maybe we should be a bit more precise on when Firefox will ask again. How about 'Clear this permission and ask again in the future'?

unless we can say specifically when which i dont think we can i think its fine as is since we also have the text that says at the bottom of the panel 'you may need to reload this page for changes to take affect'
7, can you please change the text to say "Clear this permission and ask again"? Apart from that, this should be ready to land.

Thanks!!

Hi Johann,

Thank you very much for your quick input. I changed the String to the agreed content.

Great! Now this needs a run on our try server, to check if tests are still green. (https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/TryServer). I just did that for you, but in the future you might want to get your own try access. I've also set the checkin-needed flag. This flag signals that we want the patch merged. If the try looks good, someone will come around and check it in for us.

Is this worth uplifting to 50 (my queries show it as affecting 50, too)?

> Is this worth uplifting to 50 (my queries show it as affecting 50, too)?

Yup, thanks for catching that. I didn't see Dao requested tracking but I agree that this improves accessibility and is very unlikely to cause any troubles, so we should uplift.
Flags: needinfo?(mail2seven)
Correction, I just remembered that we're changing a string in this patch. So unfortunately we can't uplift this to 50. Sorry for the confusion.
Untracked for 50, wontfix as the patch has a string change, this will ride the 51 train.
