Problem when granted temporal acces to geolocation in Firefox #117

Closed elC0mpa closed 2 years ago

elC0mpa commented 2 years ago

Hello, I am having some issues when working with geolocation in FireFox, First of all I whill show how this works in Chrome and after that I will show the problem in FireFox.

image After location is allowed in this website the button is enabled as shown in the next image.

image This is who it should works.

Now I will show you the problem. Next image shows initial state in firefox. image

As shown in the next image, the problem is that when location is allowed temporarily, the API doesn´t detect that user allowed it and as a consequence, the button remains inactive. image

I will show you the code I am using even though there is nothing special on it. image

Basically the point is that when you give location temporarily permissions, the onChange is never executed

Thanks in advance, I hope I could solve this problem.

This seems like a bug in Firefox, though I think it is also an area where the behavior for temporarily granted permissions could be specified more precisely in the Permissions API. Not firing a change event at all is definitely a bug.

Firefox's issue tracker is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.

CC @marcoscaceres for visibility into the potential area for clarification in the Permissions API.

Seems not to be fixed yet. I was also not able to find it on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. But maybe i am just blind.
