How do I bypass the popup : " 'Appname' would like to know your location. Allow or Deny "

Hi there:

I am a Android Developer. I am playing with this firefox os now and trying to create some apps. Its super cool. I liked it so far I installed it on my nexus and emulator

So, I created a button for one of my testing apps to access the user's current location. When I click on it - it says:

"Appname" would like to know your location. Allow or Deny (buttons)

Is there any way to skip this popup? This is a privacy implementation in HTML5 Geolocation API. correct? Can I Bypass this? If yes, where is the code located?

Please see the attachment for the popup. Thanks
