Dear Maintainer,

Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to https://maps.google.com/
2. Try to identify your geolocation
3. It does not work

Mozilla Location Service has been retired:
https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/retiring-the-mozilla-location-service/128693

Please switch to whatever upstream Firefox now provides for geolocation.

Best,
Amr

Since Firefox uses geoclue-2.0 for geolocation, maybe geoclue-2.0 is to
be blamed:
