Package: iceweasel
Version: 6.0.2-1
Severity: normal
bugzilla bug: 687182
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687182
Steps to reproduce:
started iceweasel with the -safe-mode option, and partially due to the asinine GTK button order, I clicked "Make changes and restart" instead of "Continue in safe mode".
Actual results:
In addition to the browser's settings, I also lost settings for my extensions. For example, all sites I whitelisted in Noscript and Flashblock are gone.
All this happened without warning, and absolutely no backup of any kind was performed on my ~/.mozilla directory.
Expected results:
I think at the very least an "are you sure" dialog should have been offered, and probably something like "back up your settings before overwriting all of them".
I really don't think my extensions settings should have been touched.
