Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

Attachment: screenshot

Build ID: 

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101006 Firefox/4.0b7pre

===========================================================================
Prerequisites: 

New Profile 
===========================================================================
Steps: 
1. Load http://hg.mozilla.org/qa/litmus-data/raw-file/tip/firefox/geolocation/position.html into a new tab 
2. Notice that geolocation dialog pops. DO NOT SELECT ANY OPTIONS YET. 
3. Load same page in a new tab. This time dismiss dialog with "Never Share" 
4. Go back to the first tab where the instance of geo-test page is loaded
5. Perform refresh 
6. Notice preferences are changed in Page Info->Permissions to "Block" geolocation retrieving 
============================================================================
Expected: 

Due to geolocation blocking, dialog and icon near the site's favicon should NO LONGER appear. 
It is confusing, and when you click on share location, you get a blank page since location retrieving is currently blocked. 

Note: See screenshot

Able to reproduce. The first tab displays the geolocation notification dialog when i click on the favicon area even after dismissing the notification in second tab with "Never Share".
