I use Ubuntu 20.04 and I am working on a web app that requires geolocation, so I need to get my current location from the web browser. I noticed that I could not get my position in Firefox using the JS geolocation api. Location services in the Settings->Privacy menu are enabled but I can see no app using them in the list below the on-off button. I have tried the following to narrow down the possible causes:

  • Installed chromium. No result
  • Checked https://www.where-am-i.net/ on both browsers to make sure that it was not an HTTPS issue. No result
  • Installed Gnome Maps. Location is shown correctly
  • Tried Firefox or Chrome on Windows on the same machine. Location is shown correctly

Any ideas on how to solve this?
