This came up during bug 1572461. It's problematic that a third-party can prompt for persistent storage as this leads to UX that's not as understandable as it could be and once third-party isolation is a thing we do by default this would be even more problematic.

As we did already for notifications, I think we should stop allowing third-party contexts to prompt the user. If the third-party has the permission through a first-party visit it seems fine if they continue to keep access to it (provided there's no isolation).

I agree :)

Priority: -- → P2

Marking this as blocking bug 1572461 as per Johann the infrastructure will/should change such that this effectively cannot work anymore.

I'd wait for landing bug 1483631 first (I added a new API in that bug)
