What Martin says there about Firefox and origins is inaccurate I
believe. We changed the permission manager last year to be
origin-bound: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1165263.

(Now revocations might well go the eTLD route, not sure, and that
might even make sense, but that seems more like a UX-issue whether you
treat www.google.com and mail.google.com as equivalent from a UX
perspective. There's a similar problem there when clearing storage. If
that would affect just the origin, cookies can be used to revive it.
I'd really like a clear set of principles for those questions, but it
seems like it will require more research.)
