On the "Privacy" tab of Page Info, I click on the "Summary" button for
http://home.iprimus.com.au/nikki_le_poidevin/ but nothing is displayed. The
Privacy Summary for the site should be displayed. The P3P validator at
http://www.w3.org/P3P/validator.html validates my code so the problem must be
with Mozilla. 
Most sites put the p3p files in a "w3c" directory and it displays a summary for
these sites. I use the (X)HTML LINK tag to point to my p3p files, which is part
of the P3P standard, but it doesn't display a summary when the LINK tag is used.
This also happens at http://venus.unive.it/philo/ which also validates for P3P
validator. 
BTW, I also noticed there is no help for the Privacy tab. 
This is the first time I have submitted a bug so I hope I gave you enough info.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://home.iprimus.com.au/nikki_le_poidevin/
2. Press CTRL+I for Page Info
3. Click Privacy Tab
4. Click Summary button 
(The same happens for http://venus.unive.it/philo/)
Actual Results:  
"Unable to display privacy summary for
http://home.iprimus.com.au/nikki_le_poidevin/. Either the site does not have a
published privacy policy or it could not be found."

Expected Results:  
The Policy Summary should be displayed.

P3P is under cookies, I guess....

P3P uses XML files. I don't create cookies. The bug is on the Privacy tab of the
Page Info page. Why is it assigned as a cookie problem/component?

the short answer is: because there's no component for p3p, and p3p is somewhat
related to cookies.
