Geolocation in Mozila Firefox: Both success and error triggered

If I use geolocation in Mozilla Firefox and set timeout less then ca 7 seconds (update - ca 4 seconds in FF 47.0.1), it returns both success and error (3 - Position acquisition timed out). If no timeout is set or is set long enough, it works OK (returns success). Tested in Mozilla Firefox 47.0 on Windows 7 and Android. See this example.

<h1>Geolocation test</h1>
<div id="results"></div>

<script>
  document.getElementById("results").innerHTML = "Let's begin<br>";

  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(positionIs, positionIsNot, {
    enableHighAccuracy : false,
    maximumAge: 0,
    timeout: 4000
  });

  function positionIs(position) {
    document.getElementById("results").innerHTML += "SUCESS: " + position.coords.latitude + "; " + position.coords.longitude + "; " + position.coords.altitude + "<br>";
  }

  function positionIsNot(err) {
    document.getElementById("results").innerHTML += "ERROR: " + err.code + " " + err.message + "<br>";
  }

</script>

There is no problem in other browsers. Do I something wrong or is it bug?
