Hello Friends,

Like other people in the forum, I'm also unable to use Location Services with Firefox. I'm running Firefox for Intel Mac version 95.0.2 and when I try to use Google Maps (or other location based services) for directions based on my current location, I'm seeing a message saying: "Google Maps does not have permission to use your location", although I did give it location access.

I tried to follow the explanation in the following post regarding the same issue: [|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1293707 ] but changing geo.provider.network.url from Google to Mozilla didn't solve my problem and I'm still unable to use location services.

Does anyone know of a solution that works?

Is "Location Services" enabled in the Mac System settings ?

System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> "Location Services" (left-side menu) Click the unlock button in the lower left corner to be able to make changes, then authenticate with an admin login. About Location Services in OS X and Safari:

Thank you, @cor-el. I double checked, but Firefox's Location Services was already enabled under MacOS Privacy settings.
