[Bug 1316182] [NEW] The option 'always trust content from this publisher' has no effect

 

Public bug reported:

When trying to run a Java application which downloads other Java
packages and runs them at startup, you are shown a dialog titled
"Security Approval Required" which shows you the name of that
application, its publisher, and an option called 'Always trust content
from this publisher'.

You would expect that by checking that option, you won't be asked again
about other applications from the same publisher. That is not true; you
keep getting asked for all components by the same publisher, which is
very annoying.
