394354 - Unable to add website to list of sites allowed to install add-ons because its URL is not displayed in warning message.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 392885

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gerd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081914 Minefield/3.0a8pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a8pre) Gecko/2007081914 Minefield/3.0a8pre

If you try to install an add-on from a website that is not listed in the white-list of websites that are allowed to install add-ons, a reminder bar comes up saying that Minefield prevented this website (URL in brackets) from installing software on your computer.
However, instead of the URL, the word 'install' (without the quotes) is displayed within the brackets, thus making the function to add the website to the white-list not working because the word 'install' appears also instead of the URL in the Edit Options dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website that offers add-ons for installation using the standard addons.mozilla.org JavaScript code (and that is not on the white-list!).
2. Click the green install button.
3. The warning message is displayed (as it should). But its URL is replaced by 'install'.
Actual Results:  
install is added into the white-list (which does not make sense).

Expected Results:  
URL of the site to be displayed in the warning message and in the Edit Options dialog so that it can be added to the list.

Workaround: You will have to copy/paste the relevant parts from the URL from the browser's address bar into the Edit Options Dialog (which is not very convenient for the average user).
