Title:
Geolocation broken on Firefox
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The geolocation feature does not work any more on Firefox (at least on
Ubuntu 12.04.3)
Try to open for example http://html5demos.com/geo , accept geolocation
when prompted by Firefox : it should quickly show your location on the
map, but it never does.
I'm using latest Firefox package from Ubuntu 12.04.3
(25.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 from standard ubuntu repos) on Ubuntu
12.04.3 (amd64) with latest updates
I have this same behavior on 2 different computers : one with a Wifi
card, another one without.
If I download Firefox 25.0.1 from www.firefox.com and launch it, geolocation
works.
It also works with Chromium 30 (version 30.0.1599.114-0ubuntu0.12.04.3 from
standard ubuntu repos)
So I suspect the issue to be related to the ubuntu package of Firefox
