How do I get firefox to stop asking for location services?

more options

Every 30 seconds or so Firefox asks me to confirm location services. I keep telling it to always remember my decision, but it asks again anyways. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and I have accessed the settings in several different ways. How do I get it to stop?

Hi Nathan, does this relate to a specific website wanting to use your location? Normally No means No, so I wonder whether it could be triggered by an add-on.

Could you test in Firefox's Troubleshoot Mode? In that mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, any userChrome.css/userContent.css files, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.

If Firefox is running:

You can restart Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > Help > Troubleshoot Mode...
  • (menu bar) Help menu > Troubleshoot Mode...

and OK the restart. A small dialog should appear. Click the Open button.

If Firefox is not running:

Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.) A small dialog should appear. Click the Open button.

Note: Don't use the Refresh without first reviewing this article to understand what will be deleted: Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.

Any improvement?
