1555888 - After granting a popup permission in one Container; I cannot grant it in another

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Security, defect, P2)

Description

[Tom Ritter [:tjr]]

In Container A, I grant popup permission for gmail.com.

Now in Container B, on gmail.com, I try to trigger a popup on gmail.com. The popup is denied (which is expected). However when I click the Preferences button to grant the permission, I do not have the option to grant the permission, but instead to Block the popup (e.g. deny the permission) despite never having granted it. Thus I cannot actually grant the permission to gmail.com in Container B.

I presume this is fallout from Bug 1330467

Looks like we query the permission manager using a URI here at least: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/9eb2f739c165b4e294929f7b99fbb4d90f8a396b/browser/base/content/browser.js#891

Yup, seems like we forgot about this one. Gary, do you want to take this?

Sure, sorry for the inconvenience.

I think there's a weird interaction with historical permissions. When I removed the permission for gmail.com (no FPI value) from permissions.sqlite and regranted the permission - the problem went away.

Perhaps I am the only one in this situation? If anyone else runs into this we can investigate more. Maybe Bug 1557729 is related?
