[Bug 1553713] Re: First visit to permission-using site results in two dialogs

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Summary changed:

- First visit to location-using site results in two dialogs
+ First visit to permission-using site results in two dialogs

** Description changed:

  Ubuntu 15.04 r270
  
  0. Flash the phone.
  1. Launch the Browser.
  2. Go to maps.google.com.
  3. Tap “Allow”.
  
  What happens:
  2. A dialog appears, “Permission Request” “This page wants to use your device’s location.” Deny / Allow
  3. A dialog appears, “Browser wants to access your current location.” Allow / Don’t Allow
  
  What should happen: Only one dialog appears. Two is ridiculous,
  especially given their visual differences.
  
+ The same appears for other permissions, such as camera and audio.
+ 
  Possible ways to solve this bug:
  
  * The Browser should something that isn’t a dialog for site-specific
  permissions, like Firefox does. (This would also have the benefit that a
  background tab couldn’t steal focus with a permission dialog.)
  
  * The Browser should have every permission by default, on the
  understanding that it can be trusted to ask per-site.
  
  * trust-store should let any app split permissions into zones granted
  independently, and Browser should have one zone per Web site.
