Steps to reproduce:

Open a new private browsing tab (didn't try in normal browsing tab)
Open a website which is asking for current location (example: takeaway.com / openweathermap.org / abetterrouteplanner.com)
A popup to ask if to share location appears. Tick the box 'Remember decision for this site' and then click 'Don't allow'

Actual results:

The popup to ask if to share the location appears again and again.

Expected results:

The decision should be remembered for the duration of the private session.
Even better, decision should be kept until the tab is closed.

I tried to search for similar issue report but didn't find any.

I suspect this is a bug on Fenix side. When I choose "remember" on a temporary allow or deny I don't see any permissions set in the permission manager. Normally the permission manager stores these decisions for the duration of the private browsing session.

Here is what I used in the Browser Console to check for the permissions for my test site:

Services.perms.getAllForPrincipal(Services.scriptSecurityManager.createContentPrincipalFromOrigin("https://permission.site"));

Setting to confirmed because I can reproduce the issue.

This might be the same root cause as Bug 1946030. Gela, could you check?

This issue is indeed a duplicate of Bug 1946030.
