Re: USAToday videos won't play? (SOLVED)

2016-02-16 Thread Frank-Rainer Grahl
Candidate builds for 2.40 are up on archive.mozilla.org. They are as good as 
the 
real deal just not uploaded to the right location and obviously missing the 
Data 
Manager fixes. Even the unsigned Windows build is ok because it's identical to 
the 
signed one. No signing for Seamonkey right now:)

Tree is on 2.41 so I no longer build 2.40 but i didn't see any big changes 
between 
them. Gave my private builds to two friends who are happy with it but they do 
not 
use the Data or Cookie Manager

No.

I'm on 2.39, but the behavior has been consistent for over a year: I go 
to a site, I want to change the cookie policy for that site, so I make a 
selection from the Tools | Cookie Manager menu, and nothing happens. No 
error message, no noise, no complaint of any kind; SM simply ignores the 
selection and continues as before with the previous selection.


The only way around it is to go into the chrome version of the Cookie 
Manager and change the policy there, or else tell SM to forget about 
this domain (which is an unnecessarily cumbersome and counterintuitive 
process, BTW). Having done that, I can go to the page in question and 
set a new policy from the menu (SM will honor a new setting only if 
there is no old setting).


FWIW, I did find a solution to the USAToday site: Tell SM to forget the 
cookie policy for usatoday.com, allowing it to revert to my default 
policy (first-party session cookies only), whereupon the site set some 
20 cookies and started playing the videos. I guess the other people who 
could play them had more lenient cookie policies, and the one who 
couldn't was also blocking cookies.
