I am using Firefox 63.0.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Pro 1809. Today, all ability to allow a website access to my location has stopped. Example sites are Hulu and Google Maps. The sites clearly show as being allowed under "Options", "Privacy..", "Permissions", "Location". I have verified that location sharing works on the same computer with IE, Edge, and Chrome. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox with addons removed. This did not resolve the issue. Is there a bug or some setting that needs to be changed?

Hello jwlaws,

Would you please read this article :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/does-firefox-share-my-location-websites

If the above doesn't change anything for you, would you try this :

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar geo.

Check the values of the following preferences :

geo.wifi.uri

geo.provider.ms-windows-location

geo.enabled

If you had to change a value, then close and restart Firefox in order for the change to take effect.

McCoy, thanks. It appears "geo.provider.ms-windows-location" was set to "false". I changed it to "true" and the problem was solved. Again, thank-you.
