Justin, just FYI. Let's talk on monday maybe?

To clarify: this is a request to sync the password and cookie per-site prefs that control whether to ask the user what to do (e.g. pop down the infobar and ask to save the password). Similar to site-specific prefs.

This is the issue I see as the problem which I would like to see resolved.

I should note that Sync does not currently sync cookies; see Bug 638865.

Is this the same as bug 470699? Is everything consolidated in the permissions manager backend or is it just the frontend that is consolidated in about:permissions?

It is now, indeed. Cookie perms used to be special, but no longer.
