Intermittent - temporary permissions survive browser close

[james48K]

Observed on Firefox (latest version) on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu Natty, on separate computers.

Sometimes, when I've closed the Firefox window, and later on started Firefox up again, the sites I "temporarily allowed" are still allowed (albeit with the italics that indicate temporary permissions.)

This is quite uncommon, and as I say it's an intermittent bug, so I can't provide a procedure to reproduce it. Restarting the PC, then opening and closing Firefox, seems to be sufficient to fix it until the next occurrence.

I do have a VAGUE memory of CookieMonster's temporary permissions also surviving my quitting Firefox; if that's right it would mean the bug was with FF and not NoScript, however this was some weeks ago and it may only have been NS's temporaries that survived.

I'm also pretty sure this never happened before August of this year, if that helps at all.

Or could be an extension conflict?

Looks like a Temporarily Allow is cleared when you Quit the browser (rather then on startup).
