The same way I need to enable popups for one or other site to keep that site
funcionality while blocking popups from every other so that i can prevent being
harassed, I also need to enable java just for one or other site to keep it
working corectly but disable it on the rest.

I already can enable or disable java globaly, but i'd love to disable java on a
blacklist/whitelist manner like popups. If it's just a prefence window issue, i
can help out with some xuling... but i'm afraid it will have to mess up with
inner designs of mozilla (i assume that since i can't enable java without a
restart...)

Even if there was backend for this (which there isn't, and I don't know how
practical hooking into permissionmanager for this type of object would be) it
still wouldn't get UI in Firebird.

Please take a look at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/ue/philosophy/realities.html and see
where this fits in with the overall UI philosophy.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
