PLEASE Mozilla, will you fix this instead of making us try some arcane thing like safe mode or restart without addons? I REALLY don't want to switch browsers, but this might push me to the Dark Side...

I get Maps OK in safe mode, but unlike our lucky friend here, I didn't miraculously get them back in ordinary operation after that. I don't know exactly when the problem started, a week ago maybe, I don't use Maps all the time, but pretty often. I'm not aware of anything I have added in that time, though I wouldn't swear that no add-on has updated. If there was a Firefox update I'd have made that.
I'm running Big Sur on a mac mini [2018], there was an update on that not so long ago too.
I do use Firefox containers, not least because I have several Google accounts and like to keep them all open. [That might not help]. Maps doesn't open in any of my accounts. All of my accouts bar one are run and generally were set up by me. I get no Enterprise Policies listed by the method above.

</p><p>It was just when you said "Yes, you have one Enterprise Policy active, so that message is normal." it is a phrase or a statement that is foreign to me.

Some antivirus products set this policy by creating a file that Firefox reads at startup. This allows them to more seamless intercept and filter your browsing. If you remove the file, then you should get certificate errors when visiting secure sites because the filter presents fake certificates. If things are working fine now, perhaps best not to change that?

It seems Firefox has made some simple change in an update that has caused this. If nothing else I will just use another browser when I want to look at Google Maps or Google Earth.

</p><p>Have you considered whether an add-on might be involved in this problem? If you haven't already, you could test in Firefox's Safe Mode. In its Safe 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.
</p><p><em>If Firefox is not running:</em> Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.)
</p><p><em>If Firefox is running:</em> You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
</p>
<ul><li> "3-bar" menu button &gt; "?" Help button &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li><li> (menu bar) Help menu &gt; Restart with Add-ons Disabled
</li></ul>
<p>and OK the restart.
</p><p><em>Both scenarios:</em> A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (<em>not</em> Refresh).

Windows (GPO)
</p><p>Introduction:
</p><p>These policies are in active development and so might contain changes that do not work with current versions of Firefox.
</p><p>You should use the officially released versions if you are deploying changes.
</p><p>Policies can be specified using the Group Policy templates on Windows, Intune on Windows, configuration profiles on macOS, or by creating a file called policies.json. On Windows, create a directory called distribution where the EXE is located and place the file there. On Mac, the file goes into Firefox.app/Contents/Resources/distribution. On Linux, the file goes into firefox/distribution, where firefox is the installation directory for firefox, which varies by distribution or you can specify system-wide policy by placing the file in /etc/firefox/policies.
</p><p>And all I want to do is get the maps up again -- maybe I will have to forget Firefox as a browser.

<p>Hi Bill, this one should not cause any problem accessing Google Maps. It instructs Firefox to trust certificates and certificate exceptions stored at the Windows system level, in addition to what is stored in Firefox. So there must be some other explanation for the strange message.
