(Whiteboard: [doorhanger][good first bug][mentor=gavin][lang=js]) 

The geolocation doorhanger notification requires the page to be reloaded to show again once tab is reordered or the tab has been dragged to the content area to create a new window out of that tab.

STR:
1) http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php
2) Drag tab to content area to create a new window out of the tab
3) The geolocation doorhanger notification and icon have disappeared

The page has to be reloaded to invoke the notification again or else the user is left clueless on why the page keeps telling the user that it is waiting on the browser.
Requesting blocking and also forgot to say that this does not happen if the tab order is changed on the tabbar.  The notification icon still correctly displays.

Hmm, this actually affects the notification bars too. Odd that no one noticed with those...
I think that makes this not a blocker. Probably still worth fixing, though.

And just to be clear, I don't think this applies to tab reordering. That part works for me.
