Dear Package Maintainers!

As I did not receive any kind of confirmation for this bug I ask you to
have a look at it again.

Please consider fixing this Bug before Jessie release to stable as it
makes IcedTea a major pain to use (having to confirm running Java
applets every time, even frequently used ones as it is not possible to
save the confirm option).

Best Regards,
Juergen Fuchsberger

Subject: icedtea-7-plugin: Plugin does not remember permission option
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 08:53:21 +0200

Package: icedtea-7-plugin
Version: 1.5-2
Severity: normal

Dear all,

When opening a java applet in Iceweasel, the icedtea plugin does not
remember the permission to run the applet.

Testing with https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre
the applet is asking for permission to run the application.
Even if I select "Remember this option", the option is not remembered.
The next time the applet is loaded, the dialog appears again.

This behaviour is also described here:

Best regards,
Juergen
