Steps

1. Install MozQA WebRT Tester - http://mozqa.com/data/webapps/mozqa.com/appinstall.html
2. Launch it and go to firefox --> geolocation --> position.html
3. When the prompt appears to access your geolocation, select remember my choice
4. Exit the app and kill the app process through task manager
5. Launch the app again and go to firefox --> geolocation --> position.html

Expected:

No prompt should appear. Permissions should be granted automatically and the user's geolocation should be shown.

Actual:

Prompt appears again asking for whether to share location or not. Looks like remember my choice isn't working with geolocation.

Apparently can happen in app or browser as well. Looks like this is plainly generally busted.

This does block, but I'm pretty sure this is a dupe of another bug.

So there's no known bug tracking the work here then?
Generalizing cause we know this issue applies generally.
Summary: Installing an app, accessing geolocation and selecting remember my choice, exit app, return to it and access geolocation again - choice wasn't remembered → [System] Remember my permission for an app is broken
Attached patch patch — — Splinter Review 
This is a special case for prompting because we don't require the geolocation permission in the manifest. It should work with all other APIs that use prompting.
