Details

Open a web page that requires geolocation/camera/mic permission, a notification popup shows, if I click anywhere outside of the popup it dismisses (to switch tabs, or scroll the page to see what is on it, or click on a menu, or click on my desktop, or another app entirely). The permission request should be bound to the page that is asking for the permission, and not disappear in all these circumstances. It should behave like Chrome's permission notification, bound to a particular tab's content.
To further describe the modality changes: - make non-modal - bound to a tab (hides/shows when tab hidden/shown) - dismisses by making a choice, or clicking the (X) to close, which will treat as a refusal to share the location/camera/mic.
Summary: Permission popup notification too easily dismissible (behaves like a modal dialog) → Permission popup notification: make non-modal, always shown for a tab, dismiss is a refusal to share
Seems related to bug 1119841.
