Yes, common.  We occasionally angry comments on 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=947266

So far, we’ve resisted adding any sort of feedback when the door hanger is 
hidden.  Since this is a non-terminal state (the door hanger can be opened and 
consent actually granted or denied), there isn’t a good way to provide this 
feedback to applications.

Yes, this makes your application a little less aware.  But we don’t want to 
remove user control.  If it were possible for an application or site to open 
the door hanger at will, then users could be badgered into consent.  We don’t 
want that.  We also don’t want to reveal what is happening with browser chrome. 
 That’s our user’s business.
