Details

When the user chooses to "share location" with a website, subsequent calls to getCurrentPosition() or watchPosition(), as long as the page has not been refreshed/reopen, shouldn't trigger permission prompt. From a privacy perspective, if one "share location" is enough to allow watchPosition(), then it should be enough to allow regular calls to getCurrentPosition() or mixed calls to watchPosition() and getCurrentPosition() Fixing this bug might fix bug 683472
