Access location notification for every Google Search

Hi all,

It's a long time that I'm using Firefox as my main browser on my Linux (Pop_Os 22.04 Ubuntu based, Gnome) machine.

From about a week I'm having an annoying problem: with every Google search i do i get an annoying notification to grant access to my location , see here 👇

I get this popup notification every time i do a google search, also if i repeat the search in the same tab.

I had a look at the Gnome privacy settings with no luck.

I don't know if it's something related to Gnome not saving the preference or if it's Firefox.

Anyone has any idea ?

Thanks 🙏🏻

Actually your comment resolved the issue!
For some reason the option inside Page Info (CTR+i) "Access your location" I put it to "default" and now it just works.

THANKS

Normally Firefox itself should ask first if google is allowed to access your location. Maybe try find that setting in firefox and disable it. I would imagine if firefox itself blocks the request already, it isn't even handed over to gnome. But that's pure speculation.

for me it would okay that google asks my location, it looks like that for some reason(gnome or firefox) doesn't save my preference 🤷🏻
