1155229 - Permission popup notification: make non-modal, always shown for a tab, dismiss is a refusal to share

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1004061

(Toolkit Graveyard :: Notifications and Alerts, defect)

Description

[:garvan]

Open a web page that requires geolocation/camera/mic permission, a notification popup shows, 
if I click anywhere outside of the popup it dismisses (to switch tabs, or scroll the page to see what is on it, or click on a menu, or click on my desktop, or another app entirely).
The permission request should be bound to the page that is asking for the permission, and not disappear in all these circumstances.

It should behave like Chrome's permission notification, bound to a particular tab's content.

To further describe the modality changes:
- make non-modal
- bound to a tab (hides/shows when tab hidden/shown)
- dismisses by making a choice, or clicking the (X) to close, which will treat as a refusal to share the location/camera/mic.
