Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1561041

(Core :: DOM: Geolocation, defect)

Description

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

1. with firefox preview nightly android (or rdm with Firefox desktop and mobile ua Bug 1523545 ? )
2. go to https://www.freedom.com.au/
3. select do not allow and remember this decision
4. Reload the page.

expected:
page loading only

actual:
The location is requested again.

      var getLocation = function() {
        self.Latitude(0);
        self.Longitude(0);
        if (window.GeoCheckTimes < 1) {
          if (navigator.geolocation) {
            var position = navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(
              position
            ) {
              self.Latitude(position.coords.latitude);
              self.Longitude(position.coords.longitude);
              reloadMiniCart();
            });
            reloadMiniCart();
          } else {
            reloadMiniCart();
          }
        } else {
          reloadMiniCart();
        }
      };
      getLocation();

which is called at the end of

var MiniCartViewModel = function(model, customer, bus) {
…
      getLocation();
}

And yet somehow the remember this decision has no effect.

I didn't find anything obvious in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=getCurrentPosition&list_id=15111956
but probably a duplicate somewhere.

This is not happening on desktop. It remembers the choice the user made.
When we set in a tab the remember don't allow, the tab which was in the rdm suddenly works.

But on firefox Android, there is no way to fix that.
