User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130911042038 Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a block cookies permission exception for a file url, as introduced by the fix for bug 815640. This creates a permission entry with the "host" set to the file path (eg. file:///tmp/test.html). 2. Go to about:permissions and find the entry for the file URL. Actual results: Cookie permissions are reported as being the global permissions, not the exception permission. Expected results: Cookie permissions should be reported as being that set in the exception. This is a minor UI issue only. There is currently no way for users to set such an exception without using an addon or some nifty javascript. The nsiPermissionManager testPermission() method appears to give the correct result for such urls and so actual cookie handling works as intended.
