Being the maintainer of a web application using the geolocation API I confirm that geolocation won't work anymore since begin of July.
The workaround from Éric Piel works fine. Hoping Google will accepts higher quota, geolocation API is more and more implemented everywhere on the web, we need a long term solution where quota should not be a problem. -- 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: Confirmed Bug description: 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 .
