75.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu - Canonical 1.0 here. Geolocation not working, it did work in 74.0 but had not worked in 73.0. API key present (AIzaSyAeBu...4qR5UXs), but gets a Status Code 429: No Reason Phrase error. IP/port contacted is 172.217.14.234:443.
geo.wifi.uri = https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY% Doesn't work with Mozilla's uri either: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY% in the latter case the IP/port contacted is 172.217.3.170:443 The error reported is the same: Status Code 429: No Reason Phrase. I know a 429 is usually a "too many requests" so my guess is that the API key is exceeding some max limit, and must be shared by all of us using Firefox on Ubuntu. Regular Firefox versions work fine, Chronmium & Chrome work fine, and everything works fine on other OSs, so at this point it's the Canonical- modified Firefox version on Linux only --the one for many reason I must use every day. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860830 Title: Geolocation not working − the Google maps API always returns error codes Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Happened as soon as Firefox was updated to 72.0.1. I noticed sites could not determine my location. Troubleshooting page shows "missing" under Location service key. I have another computer running Lubuntu 18.04LTS, which I rarely use. Just for fun, I booted it up and as soon as the software updater updated Firefox to 72.0.1, location stopped working.
