672038 - Permissions manager should show cookies, passwords inline

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[JK]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:8.0a1) Gecko/20110715 Firefox/8.0a1
Build ID: 20110715040210

Steps to reproduce:

Go to about:permissions


Actual results:

See something similar to https://bug573176.bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=533830


Expected results:

The list of my cookies and usernames should be inline instead of just via a popup with the old "cookies" and "password" managers. The list of cookies and usernames could be shown in scrolling divs with max-heights. Not sure how much of the "management" functionality should be there, but it is a pain to have to click and get the popup just to see the lists.

Respectfully disagree. The about:permissions UI is lightweight and not too overwhelming as-is, this is a good thing and we should work to keep it that way.
