840761 - plugins setting copied to other sites in permissions

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[watchman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130116073211

Steps to reproduce:

I opened about:permissions and changed the plugins setting for one site.


Actual results:

The plugins setting of all sites changed to the one set for one site.  I have tested this on two profiles.


Expected results:

The plugins setting for the other sites should have remained as set before the setting was changed for one site only.

What option did you change exactly ? Do you have plugins.click_to_play=TRUE in about:config?

Comment 2

[watchman]

I changed the option 'plugins'.  In one profile I have plugins.click_to_play=TRUE, in the other profile the setting is the default setting.

I don't see a "plugins" options in about:permissions for specific sites when click_to_play is false.
Anyway, just the about:permissions UI is broken, click to play works as expected if you visit other sites. Bug 775857 should deal with this problem.

Right, i don't think we should look at CtP setting issues in about:permissions until bug 775857 is landed.

Thanks for the comments.  When I referred to the 'default' setting in the other profile I meant that I had not changed any setting in about:config
