Firefox 67 should be the first version to fix permissions request spam: where tons of websites request your location (common enough that it's become a meme) or for permission to send you notifications.
Before Firefox 67, if you choose to hide these notifications by default, there's no way to change this later for individual sites without (a) knowing the site needs this information, and (b) going to Firefox's preferences menu to add an exception.
Now, a small icon will appear next to the lock icon when Firefox automatically denies a permissions request. You can click that icon and grant the request. This means that permissions are now easily configurable without those spammy popups appearing on so many websites!
I liked this feature so much I actually backported it to Firefox 66, and I can say it's an amazing quality improvement.
I'd like a way to manually enable a plug-in for a specific site. I have sites that won't request flash that require it, and it's a pain to turn flash to allow all to view the site and then turn it back off.
If this setting exists and I'm missing it, someone please tell me.
Can't you right click on the site, click "View Page Info", go to permissions, and give the site the permission to run Adobe Flash?
I'm assuming this setting still works, but I kind of doubt there are too many people who install and test it these days. I don't think I've encountered a site that requires flash in years.
