Bug 1535985 seems to only be about the popup on mobile whereas this is about showing a dropmarker. Every other modern browser has this and we already have the API to show the popup, we just need layout support to add the anonymous content.

Still not working in nightly build.

ccloudtv.org seems completely broken right now, regardless of browser, so the webcompat issue is no longer relevant. Since we know of no other sites breaking because of this, unsetting the webcompat priority for now.
