175609 - Can't set cookie checkboxes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 161749

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Bruno Lustosa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021019 Phoenix/0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021019 Phoenix/0.3

Under preferences, I can choose whether to allow or not allow cookies, but both
checkboxes below that one (originating site only/current session only) are
uncheckable.
I don't know if this is some undone thing yet, or if it is a glitch. I've always
got this behaviour, since 0.1, and happens to me both under Windows or under Linux.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Tools -> Preferences
2. Go to Privacy
3. Just below "Cookies are delicious delicacies", try to check the last 2
checkboxes.

Actual Results:  
Checkboxes are not checked, despite trying to check them.

Expected Results:  
Have them checked????

this is a dup of bug 161749

As a workaround, you can put it in user.js

user_pref("network.cookie.enableForOriginatingWebsiteOnly", true);

Makes me glad I still had a copy of Mozilla around to search prefs.js.

Of course you won't be able to uncheck the box, either.  And just because it is
checked, doesn't mean they've implemented it, which might explain why you can't
check it.

Mass verifiying of old duplicates.
