Re: Privileges affect cookie validity

I do believe you've found a bug. I'll take a look and try to fix it. Thanks!

Hi,

when I create a privilege for www.domain.com, i. e.
"UniversalPreferencesWrite", I get a prompt to grant the privilege. If
I allow this without enabling the option "remember this decision", the
cookie behaviour will stay normal: sites in subdirectories can access
cookies valid for that subdirectory. Otherwise (with enabled option
"remember this decision") two new lines will be added to my prefs.js:
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.id",
"http://www.domain.com";);
user_pref("capability.principal.codebase.p0.granted",
"UniversalPreferencesWrite");
and the cookie behaviour will change: all sites in subdirectories have
cookie-access as if they were in the root. They can no longer read
cookies from their own directories, and if they create a new cookie, it
will be valid for the root.
There seems to be no way to read subdirectory-cookies. Any idea?
