378034 - Clicking "remove all sites" in the popup exceptions dialog actually removes exceptions for cookies

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Thomas Schumm]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2

If you bring up the "allowed sites" for popups dialog and click "remove all sites" the list of allowed sites for popups is not cleared.  Instead, the list of exceptions for cookies is cleared.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the Firefox preferences dialog
2. Under the "content" tab, click the exceptions button for blocking pop-up windows
3. Click "remove all sites"

Actual Results:  
The list of the sites might shuffle in order, but none of the sites are removed.  If you then go to the "privacy" tab, then click the "exceptions" button under the cookies section, you'll see that all the site-specific cookie settings are gone.

Expected Results:  
The list of exceptions for pop-ups should be cleared and the settings for cookies should not be touched.

Does the same happen for you in firefox's safemode?

Sorry, I haven't been able to test it on the machine that had the problem originally.  I did test it in safe mode on another computer with an almost identical setup, and couldn't reproduce it in safe mode, so it's probably the fault of an extension.  I'm gonna mark it as invalid unless I am able to reproduce the problem in safe mode.

Sorry for the trouble.
