Why does Firefox requests the Location while no Website is open?
Today I was outside for a walk and a few seconds after I took a photo with my smartphone, Android asked me if it was okay that Firefox wanted to get my location. As I didn't have any website open, I denied. But it kept asking as soon as I pressed the button. After a few times I activated that 'remember my answer' checkbox.
Back home I tried to find out what caused Firefox to request my location. So I found this page:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-android-use-permissions-it-requests
> 'Firefox never uses your location itself or shares it with a website without your permission.'
But something doesn't add up here. I mean, no website was open and Firefox states that it doesn't use my location itself. Who the hell wants my location then?!?
While searching for a possibility to inspect service workers on the phone (which I didn't find), I found the Option about the 'Mozilla Location Services' which was activated. I deactivated it and so far I didn't see any location requests anymore.
Nevertheless, I am not sure if that service is responsible for the location requests and the statement about the permissions is just wrong or if something else is going on here?
