Expected Behavior

The cookies rule should remain the one the user has chosen.

Current Behavior

The Chameleon cookies rule is stucked on "Allow all" . When I select a different rule, Chameleon reset it to "Allow all". Strangely enough, the cookies rule in Firefox (Tools->options->privacy) remains set to block all third parties ((I have in FF selected "Custom").

Context (Environment)

FF 79 on W10.

When does Chameleon reset your cookie settings to "Allow all"? If you make changes to the cookie settings, it should visible change the setting on the about:preferences page.

[Kraxys]

In about:preferences Il have selected "block all third parties". And Firefox says that Chameleon is controlling this setting.

But when I, click on Chameleon -> Options -> cookie, the option "Allow All" is displayed.

More Precisely, when I set it to "reject third parties", then click on home (chameleon), then goes to options -> cookies, "reject 3rd parties" is still displayed. But when I click elsewhere on my screen, and then go to chameleon/option/cookies, what is displayed is "Allow all".

@Kraxys I'll have to update how these special preferences are handled. When changes are made to about:config they aren't reflected in the Chameleon UI. I was able to reproduce the issue with "Allow all" appearing, this does seem like a bug. This should be addressed in the next update.

[Kraxys]

In fact, despite "Allow all" displayed as cookie rule, when I export my profile, I see:

"ipRules": [], "options": { "cookieNotPersistent": true, "cookiePolicy": "reject_third_party"

So it may only be a display problem. The rule effectively applied seems to be "reject 3rd party".

Hi @Kraxys,

Yes, this was a bug in the UI. It should be resolved in v0.21.0.
