User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:74.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/74.0
Steps to reproduce:
Call navigator.geolocation.watchPosition() with an error function that alerts the user and the option to timeout after a short period of time (250ms, in my case). A minimum page to reproduce this is pasted below. I had to run a webserver to open this on my phone.
<html>
<script>
navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(
function(){},
function() {
alert("error");
},
{"timeout": 250}
);
</script>
</html>Actual results:
The client is flooded with alerts at a speed where clicking "Prevent this page from making additional dialogs" and the "Ok" button are not possible. This forces the user to completely exit the application or the browser will crash.
Expected results:
I expected one alert to appear at a time, or for Firefox to have prevented this in some way.
