800211 - Privacy preferences are not save

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Giovanny Gongora [:gioyik]]

Today is updated the version of Firefox Nightly to number 19 and when I try to enter a site that uses authentication with BrowserID like bugzilla.mozilla.org the pop up window of BrowserID says:

Persona requires cookies to remember you.

Please close this window, enable cookies and try again

I follow those step to "fix" the problem of the cookies:

http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-cookies-are-blocked-unblock-them?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Websites+say+cookies+are+blocked

But when i click on Accept and the window of preferences close, the error continue on the site, i can't log in on bugzilla.mozilla.org. I go again at the window of Preferences and it shows the options by default, it doesn`t shows what i modified previously.

Thats a problem because i never can complete the steps to fix the problems of the cookies to log in in a site (bugzilla.mozilla.org) because Nightly never save my changes.

The support article basically tells you to restore default settings; those are identical to "Nightly will: [ Remember History ]", so that's what will be selected when you re-open the preferences window.
