Right now the feature implemented in bug 1474280 doesn't notify the Security UI about what's happening in terms of connections being blocked, so the UI doesn't have a chance to notify the user in any way. For an example of how to do this, you can look at bug 1475697. Gary, can you please take this one too?

We need to know when a slow trackers is detected, when no slow trackers are detected, and when a slow tracker is detected and blocked.

There is currently no detect only mode, we only block.

Thanks for the example, I'll take this.

Johann, could you comment on this bug?

We probably don't need to do this. The new content blocking UI (getting introduced in bug 1476218) does not differentiate between webrequest flags for blocked/loaded trackers anymore, instead it considers a single loaded OR blocked (now called "detected") tracker reason enough to show the shield and the content blocking UI. Then, we figure out which mechanism (FastBlock or TP) is turned on by looking at the respective prefs and show them as active. We simply trust that the behavior from Necko is in accordance with these prefs and that e.g. if TP is enabled no "loaded" tracker notification should arrive (anything else would be a bug). Thus, FastBlock is already correctly displayed in the UI after bug 1476218 after which we can probably resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. Let me know if I'm missing something.

I'll lower the priority for now based on Johann's comment. Ehsan, do you agree with comment 5?
