(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040215 Firefox/0.8

On the most recent .zip build, when I attempt to allow a cookie to be set for
"use my choice for all cookies from this site"  and click Allow, it puts the
site into the exceptions list as a deny.
The deny button works properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install latest .zip build
2.  Change cookie preferences to ask before accepting
3.  Go To New Site
4.  Attempt to allow cookies from that site
5.  Check cookies exemptions, see that they are denied from that site

Actual Results:  
Cooked are exempted and denied from site

Expected Results:  
Cookies should be exempted and be accepted from site

the viewer doesn't recognize the permission, so it shows it as deny, but it 
should work properly in practice.  I have a patch for this to be fixed in FB, 
waiting on review.

In my experience for me it was not displaying "Denied" and acting as "Allow"  it
was in practice acting as "Denied".

Attachment: 3 bitmaps of screenshots confirming that the cookies are not accepted

There are 3 bitmap files here, showing me going to www.depaul.edu, clicking
accept for cookies from depaul, showing that www.depaul.edu is in the
exceptions list as deny, and that there are no cookies from depaul.

like I said, ignore the cookie exceptions window.  Until there's UI for it, its
useless to point to it as something useful.

Waiting for my new CVS tree to build so I can retest this.

tested this plenty, besides the UI saying its blocked if set to session (because
the logic is that if there's a permission, and its not allow, its blocked, which
predates session perms) there are no issues to be found here.

please retest with the current form of the dialog

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