Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1283563

(Core :: DOM: Geolocation, defect)

Description

[Zac Spitzer]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.103 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

On Windows 10 x64, firefox fires the geolocation failure callback after it has already returned a successful position. Note this desktop has no WiFI




Actual results:

the problem is intermittent, usually after a couple of goes, it will return
PositionError { code: 3, message: "Position acquisition timed out" }
after already returning a successful position

Expected results:

Failure callback should not be triggered if there was a successful result

The issue seems confirmed on 47; it works as expected in Nightly (50).
Zac, would it be possible for you to try this on the Nightly as well?

Thanks!

Haven't heard from Reporter for a while. Per comment 2, I am going to close it as WORKSFORME. Feel free to reopen if the issue exists.
