1401531 - The Permissions API returns "prompt" for granted permission

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Marios Titas]

Attachment: example.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170826193935

Steps to reproduce:

A page that has never used the geolocation API before, requests the current location using navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition. The user is then prompted to share their location with the site and they grant the permission and also select "Don't ask again for this site". Then the page checks whether it has the geolocation permission with navigator.permissions.query({name: "geolocation"}).


Actual results:

On Firefox for Android, the returned state for this permission is "prompt".


Expected results:

I would expected it to be "granted". This is how the desktop version of firefox works.
