Yes. The file contains a cookie permission for openstreetmap.org. > Moreover on Firefox 17 after replacing the permissions.sqlite file the only > listed cookie is schafmail.de, on Firefox 17.0.1 I see 2 cookies > (schafmail.de and www.openstreetmap.org) and on Firefox 16.02 I see 3 > cookies listed under Exceptions (www.openstreetmap.org scheme:file and > schafmail.de). > > Is there any reason for all the 3 different results when replacing the same > permission.sqlite file? Yes. Since Firefox 17, we consider "scheme:file" as an invalid entry. Basically, the cookie permissions in the file are the following: schafmail.de scheme:file openstreetmap.org Firefox 16 reads, accepts and loads all of them (thus, three of them listed). Firefox 17.0.0 accepts "schafmail.de" but refuses "scheme:file" so stop reading the permissions, thus do not load "openstreetmap.org" Firefox 17.0.1 also refuses "scheme:file" but continue to read the file so "openstreetmap.org" is loaded. The behaviour you see seem fine to me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082446 Title: Firefox 17.0 ignores cookie exceptions Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 Candidate: 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 Version table: *** 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.10.1 0 500 http://mirror.umd.edu/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://mirror.umd.edu/ubuntu/ quantal-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 16.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.umd.edu/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages Expected behavior: Firefox should remember the cookie exceptions I've set in versions of Firefox prior to 17.0. It should also store changes I make to exceptions. Actual behavior: Firefox ignore cookie exceptions. It also no longer records them. Workaround: Most users will want to stay on 16.0 until Mozilla fixes this bug. The thread referred to below contains workarounds that require dumping and manipulating an sqlite database.
