259786 - Add "trusted sites" in preferences

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Hish]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

I suggest to join the "allowed sites" of "popup blocking" and "allow software
installation" into a table like this:
site | popups | software installation | xpconnect | enableRead...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
foo.com | allow | disallow | allow | disallow
...

This would be more user friendly because everything is found in one window. 
Furter extended rights like window.open(...,chrome=yes) or any other rights
could be granted for specific sites without the need of signed scripts. 
Btw, signed scripts cause a lot of problems since some xul pages simply can't
run inside a jar.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
