Hulu unable to determine my location.

After a recent update to Firefox, I cannot access Hulu. It requests that I enable location sharing (which I do), but it still doesn't work. I've tweaked settings, disabled add on's and still nothing. I'm using Linux Mint 19.3, Firefox 73.0.1.

That is a known issue if you use Firefox from the Ubuntu repositories. This version doesn't include the Mozilla Location Service Key as you can see on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page.

You will have to use Firefox from the Mozilla server.

Hi elemmaiii, please ignore the spam message promoting an unofficial phone number.

Does location work on other pages? For example, there's a little test box in this one:
