491945 - Improve Error messaging for "Don't Share"

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Geolocation, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Apologies if this is a dupe, but I could not find a bug which specifically addresses this: When I select "Don't Share" I get "Error 1"

Also, for the sites that I decide not to share, where can that list be managed from? I am thinking of the UI we have for offline where there is already an explicit list of exceptions - is the same planned for geo? Or maybe does not make as much sense?

it is fine and expected to see "error 1" if you don't share.  This is by design:

There isn't any UI to show you every site you have visited and changed geolocation permissions on.  However, you can go to Page Info an a specific site to see what permissions you may have granted it.
