User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/40.0.2214.111 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

* Called watchPosition to do just that. Works great.
* Had moments in my app where I need/want to stop watchPosition firing, called clearWatch on id returned by watchPosition.
* clearWatch doesn't seem to work, watchPosition still firing.


Actual results:

* clearWatch doesn't work, watchPosition callbacks still firing.


Expected results:

watchPosition callbacks should stop firing.

I was able to reproduce the on B2G Desktop from 1.3 to 2.0. It seems to be fixed in 2.1 and above. I verified on a Z3C with 3.0.
