Details

In the page information window, users have fine-grained control over what websites/pages are allowed to do/not do. However, in the Permissions Manager (about:permissions), a lot fewer choices are available. Having to go through page info to make all settings is clumsy - the permissions manager should be your "one stop shop" for *all* permissions on a per-site basis. Currently missing from the permissions manager that are present in page info: * Load images * Per-plugin activation choices * Hide Mouse pointer * Install add-ons * Show notifications
Component: Untriaged → Preferences
I second this. One observation: when using Permissions Manager "Forget about this site" function it seems that all info for this website is removed, even if there is no GUI in permissions Manager to see that information ( tested with Per-plugin activation choices )
about:permissions has been removed, so closing this as invalid. We'll keep it in mind when creating a replacement.
