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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1082446 Title: Firefox 17.0 ignores cookie exceptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1082446/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
