FR: Automatically reload ACTIVE TAB when pemissions change

Post by iDrugoy »

Hi.
There's already a checkbox called "Automatically reload affected pages when permissions change", but it automatically reloads all the tabs, which is too painful when you temporary change permissions of some pretty popular scripts like google's or facebook's (who's scripts are injected into every 2nd page in the internet).
Instead, I'd like to see a separate checkbox that would reload only the currently active tab of the active window.

Thanks, but it should be a checkbox, not a hidden pref, especially if it is frequently asked.

The Options dialog is already too large to fit on smaller screens like my netbook. This isn't requested all that often, really, and it's a subtle detail. I vote for leaving it in about:config.
