Build ID: 20150929144111
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

On Firefox for Android v 41.0 a navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition request with a non zero maxage ( i.e maxage:2000) fails with a timeout, whilst a maxage:0 works

here is a test harness https://jsbin.com/nupuyo/edit?html,console,output

1. click "low (age:2000)", it will return "Position acquisition timed out"
2. reload the page
3. click "low (age:0)" it will return a position








Expected results:

Max age shouldn't affect whether a position is returned
