1836595 - Change the text of Remote Content dialog to "permanently allow" where appropriate

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Thunderbird :: Message Reader UI, enhancement)

Description

[Jason Evangelho]

Attachment: remote content.jpg

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/113.0

Steps to reproduce:

When "allow remote content" preference is unchecked (not allowed) in Thunderbird preferences, a yellow warning label appears on messages with remote content. With allow remote content disabled globally, receive and open an email with remote content (such as a newsletter).

Actual results:

A yellow label appears telling the user that Thunderbird has blocked remote content in the message. The associated dialog box lets users display remote content from various origins, from that sender, etc.

Expected results:

It can be unclear whether these options PERMANENTLY allow those origins to display remote content, or just for that email. The proposal is to simply change the text to "Permanently Allow" where appropriate, to avoid any confusion.

Thanks for filing the bug.
Perhaps also, "Temporarily" should preceed "Show remote content in this message".

It's under preferences, so I'd think it's not too unclear it's a preference you're changing.

Until we get it fixed in code, I've documented it in the SUMO KB: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remote-content-in-messages/review/261850
