Trying to access https://www.locast.org. but my location is blocked.

I want to add\change\edit a permission for the above website to allow.

I have previously blocked requests for my location in Permissions => Location => Settings. I have now unchecked this. I have deleted the relevant cookies using the sites shield menu. I am unable to get the site to prompt me to allow location nor can I manually add the site to the in Permissions => Location => Settings.

I expect this to be in about:config but no idea where.

How can I correct this?

You would have to remove or change this Location permission in "*Options/Preferences -> Privacy & Security - > Permissions".

You can also check this permission in "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions".

Hi

thanks for your help. the link helped me find some settings that I missed.

I now have the site in the preferences table with the value ALLOW. I have also manually deleted the cookies for the site and also rebooted, however I still get the same error.

Any other thoughts?
