That is not silent, because user would have already granted permission to that 
origin to access in previous model.

So the way you are solving this problem is, instead of showing prompt with 
iframe’s origin, just delegate permission from top frame or request permission 
with the origin of top frame? How did that made the situation better? You are 
ultimately taking away origin indicator from people who understood what it 
means :(

I’m really disappointed that Firefox is taking this path.
