When opening pages like <http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/news/article/0,289142,sid14_gci1286808,00.html> , when "ask me everytime" is activated for cookie storage policy, and the domains are not yet black- or whitelisted, Iceweasel displays tons of confirmation dialogs for the same domain, instead of one dialog a time (or at least one dialog per domain). This is a regression from Iceweasel 2, where the dialogs where shown sequentially. (Ideally, one dialog to show all cookies a page tries to set would be shown.)
found 488691 30.0-2 thanks Package: iceweasel Version: 30.0-2 Dear Maintainer, This bug is still present in recent Iceweasel versions. However, it's not very intuitive to reproduce. Here is what I did to reproduce the unwanted behavior (don't do that unless you're very patient since closing all the boxes is quite painfull): - create a fresh Firefox Profile - go to the Menu/Preferences dialog - go to the Privacy pannel - in the History group, select "Sue custom settings for history" - change the Keep until select-box to "ask me every time" - go to <http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/news/1286808/Storm-Nugache-lead-dangerous-new-botnet-barrage> - you'll have a first dialog box. Chose "Deny". - go on until about 7 dialog boxes show up. - if you want to get rid of all of these boxes, you'll have to close them in a correct order, and you should check "always do that for this domain/website" since otherwise they'll keep reappearing (maybe thanks to some Ajax magic?) Happy dialog boxes closing party,
