User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0
Build ID: 20150929144111

Steps to reproduce:

Went to Google.com, attempted to uncheck the "Don't ask again for this site" checkbox on the "Share your location" popup


Actual results:

Nothing. Pressing on the checkbox never changes it. It's always checked.


Expected results:

It should have unchecked that box
I can only reproduce this in Aurora and Beta. Workaround seems to be rotating the device. However that only works for one tap. Then the checkbox is nonresponsive to touches again.

I wonder if this is a regression of bug 1193337
Summary: An Android Marshmallow, Firefox Beta doesn't allow unclicking the "Don't ask again for this site" checkbox when a site requests your location → On Android Marshmallow, Firefox Beta doesn't allow unclicking the "Don't ask again for this site" checkbox when a site requests your location
I can reproduce this on Android 5.0 as well. Steps to reproduce

* load google.com
* if the door hanger for location does not appear scroll down and tap use precise location
* attempt to tap the check box in the geoloction door hanger

Expected: checkbox toggles from checked to unchecked
Actual: taps do not toggle the checkbox

When verifying this bug we should test as many devices as possible as well as other door hangers that have checkboxes. Might need assistance from the dev team to enumerate the door hangers.

Hm. Nope it is a duplicate of bug 1193337 as that has only landed on Firefox 43. We need to weigh fixing this vs. the regression bug 1201081. Tested build from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/ff71dfc40c70 and the issue reproduces, the next checkin https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2b21997e3278 does resolve the issue.

Used 42a2 to test aurora. Updating to 43a2 fixes this.
Since we already have a patch and uplift request to beta 42 in bug 1193337, I don't think we need to track this now.
