Google is my home page. Every time I open the browser or return to Google, it request access to my location. I click "Allow" and I click the "remember this decision" box. I've done this repeatedly and still Google bugs me with an access requests. This started with your last update which included the VPN. I have a 2018 Mac Mini with macOS Sonoma 17.8.7.

How can I stop this annoyance?

Something recently changed on the macOS side specifically in late Sonoma: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1585392

Gerald, would you be able to try a proposed change by running a separate Firefox Nightly nightly.mozilla.org and see if the issue improves for you using that build for a bit as a test? Thanks!
