The Geo location feature doesn't work with latest version of Firefox 51.0, although it's working with the previous version of Firefox 50.1.0.I ave tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Firefox browser version 51.0 but it still doesn't work.My operating system is Windows 7.

I have tried here under Live Result : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Geolocation/Using_geolocation

but it says "Unable to retrieve your location" See screen shot.
