[Bug 1186636] [NEW] about:permissions doesn't remember changes

[Ben Pearre]

Public bug reported:

I went to about:config and changed plugins.click_to_play to true, as
instructed at e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/956759

Now I'd like youtube to play without clicking.  I go to
about:permissions, find youtube.com and www.youtube.com, and set Plugins
to "Allow".  Now go to youtube, and ask it to show me something.  It
sits there, waiting for me to click on the player window as instructed
by plugins.click_to_play.  Huh?  Go back to about:permissions, and find
out that Plugins under www.youtube.com has been reset to Always Ask.

Expected behaviour: about:permissions should save my changes, and
www.youtube.com (e.g.) should stop asking for permission to play videos.
