I don't actually think about:permissions is a good start, or that it's implemented "most of the complicated bits." Quite the opposite, really: it was a useful experiment, but has some serious problems. I'd briefly summarize the two main flaws as (1) "manager" UIs are generally not great (they provide some minimal functionality to change settings but are bad at informing the user what's going on) and (2) it isn't a great fit for the scopes of various things in the browser (everything from global settings to exact-url matches, with lots of subtle variations in between), let alone matching that to a user's mental model.
Philipp Sackl (UX) has been poking at this for a while, and has some interesting explorations. We can and should definitely do more here, just not with about:permissions. :) Justin On Tue, Mar 3, 2015 at 5:17 AM, Frederik Braun <fbr...@mozilla.com> wrote: > The good news is that most of the complicated bits are already > implemented.
