Geolocation is still not working!
Now, i know there are other threads on this subject, but none appear to provide a fix. I am using Firefox 43.0.4 and geolocation is not working.
I have gone through all settings, and location is enabled, but Firefox can never actually find my location.
Any suggestions other than uninstall - reinstall?
Thanks.

Okay, so today the problem is suddenly fixed. Great! :)

hi, there seems to be an ongoing issue with the google geolocation provider unfortunately (tracked in bug 1232995).
as a workaround you could try the following: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named geo.wifi.uri. double-click it and change its value to https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%

Thanks, i'll give that a go.
What does this webpage say about your location? http://whatismyipaddress.com/ Under the map, look for Location not accurate?

It shows my area, but not exact location. Geolocation is working on Chrome and IE, just not Firefox.
