Hello,

Recently, I discovered an issue with accessing my location. There are no problems indicated in the Event Viewer.


A program accessed information from a location sensor or default location

FriendlyName=Firefox; ImagePath=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe; PID=9460;


But it didn't.

What could cause the problem?

Kind Regards!

Did you grant a permission to access the location to the website?

Please read Does Firefox share my location with websites?

Yes, I have granted the websites permission to access my location. Switching between 5GHz and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks partially resolves the issue, but only with Firefox. By "partially," I mean that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. At times, only one website will work, while at other times, all the websites will function correctly. I can't discern any particular pattern to this behavior. Interestingly, other devices connected to the same router do not experience this problem.
