Bug 572967 makes geolocation notification hang around indefinitely (until you navigate to a different page). Geolocation requests can time out. We need to make sure that the notifications for timed-out request behave sanely, at the very least. Better would be to remove the notification when the request times out, but that may be tricky.

I looked into this a bit, and it turns out that I was a bit confused about the timeout behavior. The timeout only applies to the time spent after the request has been allowed, rather than after the request has been made. So I think there's nothing to do here.
I think I agree. I tried to reproduce and log a timeout error by ignoring the request notification, but nothing was happening.
Easiest blocker ever!
