Does it?

In Firefox you can grant the permissions once (for the current page only) or grant them forever, your choice. If your browser doesn't offer that choice, that's a problem with your browser.

[Disclaimer: I work on Firefox.]

You are assuming the facebook.com page. He was talking about one of their apps.

That's fair, now that I reread his comment, but he was responding to a comment that was talking about browsers, not apps...
