Re: [w3c/permissions] Add another permission state "always-ask" (from one-time grants)? (Issue #414)

Thanks for the link to https://github.com/w3c/permissions/issues/388, I've commented there.

No, the middle case describes status quo. What Firefox [intends to ship](https://groups.google.com/a/mozilla.org/g/dev-platform/c/auH04v5gGk8/m/uADZ4u-MCAAJ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#:~:text=Since%20Firefox%20grants,hence%20this%20design.) is:

"ephemeral grant (via 'grant this time' UI or UA policy) => "granted" until the user denies a future prompt or revokes

I.e. one-time permission as the norm. The Firefox permission prompt is mostly harmless: if a user denies a prompt, the site gets `"blocked"` for the duration of that document only, then `"prompt"` after that. ↻ → 👍

We therefore don't think apps need a guarantee of a prompt-free experience in Firefox (with the fingerprinting side-effects @npdoty mentions), but if you do, I suggest supporting this issue.
