323583 - The "Allowed Sites" list for installing extensions and themes doesn't allow to set domains or the use of regular expressions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259006

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Sergio Miranda]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

The "Allowed Sites" list for installing extensions and themes doesn't allow to set domains (like mozdev.org) or the use of regular expressions (like *.mozdev.org)

This causes that everytime a user installs an extension on the mozdev.org site or others alike, has to add and entry for EVERY SINGLE extensions that he wants. It becomes boring/irritating and makes the list unnecessaraly huge.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to mozdev.org
2.Install a huge amount of extensions
3.Have a LOT of patience in allowing the page you are in everytime you change sub-domain

Actual Results:  
You end up with a list of Allowed Sites like this, for example:

cdn.mozdev.org               
deskcut.mozdev.org           
dmextension.mozdev.org       
downloadstatusbar.mozdev.org 
dragtotab.mozdev.org         
fasterfox.mozdev.org         
ietab.mozdev.org             
ieview.mozdev.org            
menueditor.mozdev.org        
minimizetotray.mozdev.org    
rip.mozdev.org               
showimage.mozdev.org         
update.mozilla.org           
addons.mozilla.org           
forums.mozillazine.org       
www.customizegoogle.com      
www.extensionsmirror.nl      
www.foxytunes.org            
www.mrtech.com               
www.spuler.us                

Expected Results:  
Instead of this, for example:

*.mozdev.org               
*.mozilla.org           
forums.mozillazine.org       
www.customizegoogle.com      
www.extensionsmirror.nl      
www.foxytunes.org            
www.mrtech.com               
www.spuler.us                

A lot more clean and effective.
No security risk. If change the url to a regular expression...you know what you are doing, and you still have the confirmation message.

To get the equivalent of "*.mozdev.org", you just need to add "mozdev.org".
