Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
When firefox blocks an extension installation and the user clicks 'edit options'
the only way to proceed with installation is to add the source to the trusted
sites list. I think that this should be similar to popup blocking, that lets the
user show a popup window without adding the site to the trusted sites list. It
sounds like a solution that could compromise security, but the current behaviour
drives the medium user to permanently add a source to the list everytime he/she
wants to install an extension.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to install an extension from an untrusted site;
2. Click 'edit options'.
Actual Results:
Firefox shows the trusted sites list, asking if the source must be added (by
showing the misleading 'allow' button).
Expected Results:
Firefox should behave as it does when blocks pop-ups. It should show a list of
options like this:
1. Allow installation only for this time
2. Change trusted sources list
