Can I make FF 24 ESR check top level domains in permissions.sqlite like it used to (FF ≤17 ESR)?

permissions.sqlite stores various permissions for web sites. Up until some pre FF 20 version, permissions for domain 'doubleclick.net' applied also for 'www.doubleclick.net' (and obviously other subdomains). This was very handy and useful, because it worked for TLDs too: e.g I had set up default permissions for no scripts were allowed for the com TLD, no documents for the xxx TLD etc.
After some version, this stopped working. Ergo, for my peace of mind, I turned to FF 17 ESR, because this “inheritance” mechanism worked fine.
Unfortunately, FF17ESR is no more. I updated the browser and got the 24ESR version. I don't seem to be able to go back.
I found out about similar issues with permissions.sqlite, verified I don't have any 'scheme:file' host fields etc. The mechanism works, but without any inheritance.
I can assume that this is an optimisation (ie lookup only the domain name, not recursively its parents), but I really, *really* would like to have this functionality back. Is there some option I can set in about:config to turn it back on? I prefer security over speed.
I'm willing to customize the relevant code and compile and use my own FF24ESR, if only some kind soul would give me a hint as to where in the source code there is the permissions.sqlite checking mechanism. I tried for a couple of hours to locate said mechanism to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
This is a good suggestion and to be honest, I didn't know that the permissions manager doesn't respect TLDs and that is site specific. I did locate a couple of bugs around this
# Firefox 18.0 added a feature for per site cookie blocking, [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770691 Bug# 770691] and [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/18.0/releasenotes/buglist.html FF 18.0 Release notes] - guess is that this might be related to what you are seeing, though this is what it is - a guess
#There is another bug, marked as 'will not fix' to provide an option in the UI to disable javascript [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=873709 Bugzilla #873709]
#Also, managed to track a meta-bug for implementing site-specific permissions and it is likely that the issue you are seeing is a side-effect of one of these [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573176 Bugzilla# 573176- Implement Site-Specific Privacy Preferences ]. I couldn't track which bug it was that logged for the JS preferences blocking
I will continue to search and see if I am able to locate the exact change. Meanwhile, someone who is aware of the changes more closely than I do, can chime in.
Hope that helps.

  • Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

    Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
    Thanks

    Hi there
    ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

    In v6 airport utility "Join a wireless network" is not available once the TC is setup.
    You must reset to factory and try again using the selection options.. and it can fail or not come up.. This is an extremely poor way to setup a TC.. and you should NEVER EVER DO IT.. that is why apple removed it. Since you are joining wireless it makes no difference where the TC is located.. since it would become a dumb AP and turn off its ethernet ports.
    Place it right next to your main modem router, plug in by ethernet, and select bridge mode and create a wireless network. Never use Join a wireless network..
    However for completeness here is the method.
    How do I setup my time capsule with wireless internet?
    Never ever do it.
    If you need internet by wireless and backup to the TC.. then simply plug the TC directly into the Mac.
    Run dual network.. Setup explained here.

  • How to block top-level domain names in rules for EOP?

    Using EOP for email filtering to/from our on-premise Exchange server.  How do I block entire top-level domains in the rules section under mail flow?  For example, w need everything ending with .link blocked.  Right now I
    have only been able to block email addresses and full domain names.  I know I can setup a transport rule in our exchange, but I'd prefer EOP handle this before like it should. Thanks in advance.

  • Realms with different top-level domain

    I'm testing OCS 10.1.2 and I am interested in setting up multiple realms.
    Must all realms be in the same top-level domain? I see in the examples (like in Note Note:317434.1) names like this:
    - Default realm created at install:
    dc=us,dc=oracle,dc=com
    - Additional realms created by the administrator post-install:
    dc=uk,dc=oracle,dc=com
    dc=ca,dc=oracle,dc=com
    A more typical example for what we need would be:
    dc=company,dc=co,dc=uk
    dc=company,dc=no
    dc=company,dc=de
    Is this possible?

    What are the consequence of that? Any practical problems?
    I see in Note 308682.1 that the top level of a top level domain is NULL. So maybe instead of world you can use an empty top level domain.
    However, this document refers to mail and not OID.

  • Block Top Level Domain (.eu)

    I'm trying to configure a transport rule in Exchange 2013 to block all emails from the TLD .eu   We get nothing but a TON of spam that is not caught by the Exchange 2013 spam filter, and it's always from a different domain. I have seen guides for
    2007 and 2010, but nothing for 2013.
    Do I just use the rule "The sender domain is" and use the value ".eu"? I just want to verify this is the correct way to block a TLD.

    Hi Jsilveri,
    You can use Sender Filtering feature:
    Set-SenderFilterConfig –BlockedDomains

    That is the same answer as before. The domain changes with each spam message. I need to block anything coming from a .EU top level domain. So domain1.eu , domain2.eu should all be blocked with 1 rule.

  • DNS Server does not resolve new generic Top Level Domain names- CNR configuration issue?

    Hi all,
    I am not sure if this is the correct community to post this question, but I will give it a try. I noticed that the users of my network cannot resolve web sites using new top level domain names, like ".education", ".international", etc. I have an internal DNS server made by Infoblox and a Cisco CNR v6.3.3.1 as an external DNS server. Infoblox uses CNR as its forwarder and CNR uses the root DNS servers for queries.
    I would think that CNR was the problem because it is an obsolete product but after speaking with a fellow engineer at another organization where they still use an older version of CNR than mine, they have no problems at all. So now I am thinking it is a setting either on Infoblox, or on CNR I need to change. I can see Infoblox is forwarding the requests to CNR but that's about it. I am not sure if CNR is discarding the request. When I do an nslookup from a PC in my network it does not matter if I set my DNS server to be the Infoblox or the CNR. Neither resolves the URL.
    Then again, no matter what I lookup using the CNR as my DNS, I only get a response with the root DNS names and IPs!
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi Constantinos,
    Have you taken a look at the infoblox community site?  We've just reposted your question there and alerted some internal SMEs that should provide a solution soon.

  • IMessage and new Top level domains

    My new email address has a new top-level domain (.kiwi instead of .nz) - I am trying to get iMessage to allow the use of that address, but the verification email never arrives.  Anyone know a way to convince Apple that my new email address is legitimate and can be used for iMessage and FaceTime?

  • How to stop location bar autocomplete from using top-level domains?

    I love the location bar autocomplete - or at least, I used to. I had it trained to the point where typing one letter was enough to bring up the pages I used most often. But now with Firefox 12, it ignores all that and favors top-level domains.
    For instance: I haven't been to the front page of YouTube in years; there's no reason to go there. When I would type "www.y" into the location bar, it would pop up to the one video I visited most often - and that's exactly what I WANTED it to do. Now it defaults to "YouTube.com" and I have to scroll down to find the actual page I want. Same deal with Wikipedia: I don't want to go to the front page, I want to go to the page I use most often for research.
    So basically, what do I need to change to get the location bar autocomplete to stop giving me top-level domains I don't want, and go back to giving me the subpages I spent years training it to favor? Scrolling down to the right entry is a waste of time when typing one letter and hitting enter should be enough to do it...

    And I meant the actual location bar, not the dropdown menu below it. The dropdown is fine: it's the autocomplete '''in''' the location bar that needs to be fixed...

  • Naming your top level domain

    I am setting up a new directory server for our organization, we'll call it direct.org.
    I would like to know how you determine which way to name your top level domain.
    o=direct
    o=direct.org
    dc=direct,dc=org
    Most of the organizations around us use the "o=xxxx.org" or "o=xxxx.edu" so I set up our test server as o=direct.org. Before I put this thing into production I wanted to find out what factors are used to determine how you define the top level domain.
    We are, in a sense, an ISP. However, our only clients are educational institutions.
    I took Sun's Directory Server class last year and I asked this question in class. It seems that nobody could come up with a clear answer to this question.

    For LDAP V2 - use o=direct.org
    for LDAP V3 - use dc=direct,dc=org
