hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just tried all that. Didn't work. Still not allowing me to access locations in google Maps. Here's a screen shot of what I see.

ok thanks, then some other thing to check would be when you enter 'about:config' into the address bar and search for preferences containing 'geo' is any of the search results shown in bold? if so reset those entries to their default value.

i know far too little about macos, but please also check if there are system-wide settings that could deny geolocation permissions in general or for particular apps...

Thanks again...I checked 'about:config' and saw some geo items, but don't feel confidant messing around with any of those settings. I don't know what the defaults are and don't want to really mess things up. I'm stumped. I also checked as many system prefs as I could and didn't see anything unusual.

Figured it out! It was in my system preferences!

   Open System Preferences  Security & Privacy Preferences  Privacy  Location Services.
   To allow for changes, click the lock in the bottom left.
   Check "Enable Location Services."

Thanks again!

oh, good find - thanks for reporting back!

I don't have that option....ugh!!!
