Firefox keeps asking me to share my location. I said "no" a couple times and it kept asking so I said "yes" in hopes it would stop harrassing me, but it didn't

I just want it to stop asking me to share my location. I clicked yes. STOP.

Without further details like what site you're visiting at the time, I can't say why you're constantly being asked to share your location. If you don't want to use this feature, you can disable it as follows:

  1. Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
  2. To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
  3. In the search box, paste geo.enabled
  4. In the search results, double-click geo.enabled to set its value to false.
