Confirmed on 66.0.3 OS X 10.4.4, when in responsive design mode, the geolocation error callback for DENY never gets called.

Do you think this might be an issue for Android?

Hi, this, this fails in Android.

Raul, do you share a link to a web page that demonstrates the problem in Firefox on Android?

I created a simple getCurrentPosition test page [1] and can't reproduce the problem in Firefox on Android. If I click the "getCurrentPosition" button and then location permission prompt's "Don't share" button, the getCurrentPosition's error callback is called, as expected, with the error message "User denied geolocation prompt".

But I can reproduce the problem with the same test page in Firefox on macOS desktop in responsive design mode.

P3 if this bug only affects responsive design mode.

I ran into this bug today and can confirm that it still affects Firefox 73 on Mac OS X.

Still around in Firefox Developer v75.0b12 (64-bit) 😢

Same symptoms in FF-74/MacOS 10.14.4. Wrote a function that calls the navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() and passed in a callback. Everything works as expected an can see that it returns that LAT,LNG when viewing the page in default view, however when the same page is viewed in Responsive Design View (CMD+OPT+M) the call back function doesn't seem to be called. Added 2 console.log and can see that the original function is called but the callback console.log never fires.
