Andrei Vaida testing results:

  • Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit (Surface Pro 2, Wi-Fi enabled)
    • http://www.rundavoo.com/ -- clicking in the "Where" field doesn't suggest a location from my area, manual location input is required
    • http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation/position.html -- "Position acquisition timed out" error message is displayed after sharing location (reproduces intermittently)
      • STR: the first time when the doorhanger asking for location access is displayed, click somewhere on the page (but not on the doorhanger) then allow the access to your location by clicking on the GPS icon available in the location bar
    • http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation/wifi-watch.html
      • a blank page is displayed the first time the page is accessed with the location shared
      • on a second attempt, geolocation works, but the iframe that should've displayed the associated google map is blank (the same with Chrome)
    • http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation/wifi.html
      • a blank page is displayed the first time the page is accessed with the location shared
      • on a second attempt, geolocation works, but the iframe that should've displayed the associated google map is blank (the same with Chrome)
    • https://maps.google.com/ -- the first attempt of determining current location states "Your location could not be determined", the second attempt is successful
 Note: the issues displayed above were encountered on both Desktop and Metro modes.

Manuela Muntean testing results:

Petruta Rasa testing results:

  • Windows Vista
    • Intermittently, the Share location notification is not displayed (reproduced on one machine for all websites)
    • There are no results (location-based generated data) for http://mozqa.com/data/firefox/geolocation and http://html5demos.com/geo websites. From this point, the previous websites for which the geolocation worked, doesn't display the results either.
