Public bug reported: Since a couple of days (around beginning of August 2016) the geolocation in Firefox doesn't work anymore. I _think_ (but not entirely sure) this happened already with Firefox 47.
That seems to affect all the website using the W3C geolocation, but to test, go for example to: http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php In the popup, accept to share the location, and the text displayed in the location is: "The page could not get your location." My computer is running Ubuntu 16.04, with Firefox 48.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 . ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611037 Title: Geolocation in firefox doesn't work anymore Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since a couple of days (around beginning of August 2016) the geolocation in Firefox doesn't work anymore.
