I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 and now, while Location Services are enabled in the Settings, I do not see the location icon in my top bar, and services requiring my location cannot retrieve it.

See it is enabled in Settings:

But my top bar does not have the location icon that used to show there:

And services like Google Maps do not seem to be able to retrieve my location. See below in Firefox, even though I allowed it...

Any clue? I use Google maps on my laptop quite frequently, so it is quite important to me...

Tha Arch Linux wiki helped me out with this issue. Can you try this?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Geolocation_does_not_work

TL;DR:

  1. Go to about:config
  2. Search for geo.provider.network.url
  3. Replace with https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%
