Public bug reported: Using Ubuntu 16.04. Firefox Version 72.0.2. Both HULU and Google maps now state that my location could not be determined. Location sharing previously worked, so I assume that it is a bug. Mozilla Technical Support believes that the problem resides in the Ubuntu repository version of Firefox.
"That appears to be a problem with Firefox from the repositories that doesn't seem to include the Mozilla Location Service Key and doesn't offer an alternative. You can check that on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page. You will have to use Firefox from the Mozilla server. Note that current is Firefox 73.0.1." Hopefully, by updating the version of Firefox in the repository, this problem will be fixed.
