Good. I get so tired of having to click that little [x] on the location prompt.

However it's really just covering up a bigger issue, which is that the permissions prompts in Firefox and Chrome should be redesigned. It would be good if they were designed so that they were still noticeable, but they:

* don't cover part of the webpage

* don't cover other parts of the browser's UI

* and don't take focus away from the webpage

Yeah, why isn’t it one of those thin drop down bars at the top that can be closed? Have it go away after a certain number of seconds.

That leaves no room for them to appear at all. I'm all for it.
