Only recent change I can see is:
Bug 758357 - Only show prompt after 50mb of quota was reached
But it was backed out due to:
Bug 770085 - b2g-desktop builds broken by Bug 758357

Umm, I don't get it: Page Info (and e.g. its Permissions Tab) is bound to a certain Site - the one you're invoking the Info on.

So in Step 2) what Site is named at the Top ("Permissions for: xxxx") of the Permissions Tab?

Page Info permissions are bound to the site loaded in the current tab, as pointed out in comment 2. I would only consider this to be a bug if you are continued to be asked to allow after following:

1. Load http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation/position.html
2. Click "Always Share Location"
3. Reload the page in step 1

- or -

1. Load http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation/position.html
2. Click "Share Location"
3. View Page Info > Permissions
4. Uncheck "Always Ask" and select "Allow"
5. Reload the page

There is no global sharing permissions as far as I am aware.
