I'm running 2003012105 trunk on XP. I have one site in the pop-up exceptions allows sites. I go into the preferences and try to add another site. Everything looks fine and the 2 sites are shown in my list of hosts. I click OK and exit preferences. I return to that config and don't see the site I added.

Please don't mark this as resolved so easily. I've confirmed this on another system. 2003012108 trunk on XP. One thing to note is I initially add www.bantu.office and www.bantu.com by clicking on the exclamation point when a pop-up is blocked. I add these two sites. Click ok. Then I go into the preferences and pop-up block exceptions and only www.bantu.com is there.

I see this too with build 2003012709. Although the whitelsiting seems to work (the whitelisted sites can open popups)they don't appear in the popup manager window.
simon, what platform/os are you using?
steve: could you give me some more specific steps? www.bantu.office isn't a valid url, and www.bantu.com redirects to something else. this patch addresses the case where you have something like "gap.com" on your whitelist and you go to "www.gap.com" - in the menu "Allow popups from this site" should be disabled since gap.com would cover *.gap.com. However, should "Suppress popups from this site" be enabled though? If you wanted to block just www.gap.com and allow the rest of *.gap.com, you would have to go back to your prefs and use the blacklisting policy. I am not sure what the proper behavior should be for cases like this. simon: what specific sites were you adding to your whitelist? if you were to add two sites with the same superdomain then the more specific one would be covered by the less specific one and therefore would not show up in your list.
shuehan, shouldn't your patch be applicable to bug 190351? if yes, let me know if i should dup either this bug or that one. thanks!
www.bantu.office is a valid URL as we use it on our intranet. Other places use things like companyname.internal and such.
Actually, let me clarify. You shouldn't need to access the sites I'm trying to access just to verify that you could add them to the list and they show up on the list of allowed sites.
sairuh: I'm running Moz on WinXP. One site I added was www.igb.ch. The site doesn't work properly on Moz, but this is not related to this bug. Anyway, popup whitelisting works, I just don't see it in the manager.
steve: are you going to help me figure out what exactly is going wrong here or not? i can't fix this problem if i can't reproduce this. it's not as if sites are randomly disappearing from the whitelist, this is happening in specific circumstances and i would need some more information from you to figure out what these circumstances are. simon: i think this bug results from a combination of sites being added, not just one. do you remember what the other sites you added were?
I'm no programmer but I don't think this comes from a combination of sites. I added different sites during different session and none of them ever sticked. Is there a way I can delete the whitelist and start a new one? Right now the "remove all" button is greyed out. Is there a file I can delete to start from scratch?
Ok, this works for me now using build 2003013008.
Fixed for me in 2003013104 trunk on W2K. Good job!
