When I visit a particular web site it requests that I grant Firefox access to location services. When I attempt to, the site's interface takes me to (Apple) System Settings/Privacy & Security/Location Services and shows me the access status of the Firefox.app. The control next to it shows it as off. Clicking on the control to change it to on does nothing. The web site cannot access location services.

Location Services itself is on, as are permissions for several other apps (including Safari, which does not have this problem with this web site).

Within the Firefox apps own settings, location permissions for the site in question (scistarter.org) are set as Allow.

I'm on an iMac, running Tahoe 26.5. This problem does not happen on my iPhone running iOS 26.5.

Help?

Why are websites are receiving my location data before I am given the option to block them from doing so?

When I am using the Private Browsing feature of Firefox, and I search for something like a restaurant menu from Google, the browser is able to receive my location data and use it for the search query before Firefox shows the pop-up asking if Google can receive my location data. I'll note that I don't include my location in my initial query, just something like "[restaurant name] menu." I'm not sure if this is an issue with Firefox or whether Google itself is having this issue, but I'd like to avoid having my location data automatically given before I get the chance to object to it. My main two questions are:

  • Why does this happen?
  • Is there anything I can do on my end to prevent it?

Thank you for your time.

I'm in an Alzheimer's study that wants to turn on my microphone so I can do one of the things in the study but I can't find where to do this. I went to microphones and typed in the name Brain Health Registry but it doesn't give me a place to turn on the microphone. Hope you can help so I can finish their quiz for today. As far as I know, I have the latest version because it updates when it needs to but I couldn't even find the version I have.
