I have a little website that tracks my location. I keep it open in a tab almost always, since I use it daily. About once a day Firefox wants me to log in again, and after that, the location info is disabled. Is there not a way to survive that I trust that site, and want it to have access to my location every time? Even better if I did not have to log in so often.

All this on a Fairphone, Android 12

Still having the problem. I have checked the site permissions under settings, enabled location for mysite and www.mysite, and disabled enhanced tracking protection for the sites. And the next day, or in a few hours, those settings have have reverted to asking about location and enabling tracking protection.

Who is messing with my settings behind my back? If it is Firefox itself, where do I file a bug report?

Looks like this is a duplicate of the question at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1404331#answer-1593623

I think it will be better to keep the discussion there.
