Bugzilla

Hello everyone, and thank you for your reports. There has been some progress recently on a probably duplicate bug 1810421, see [here](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810421#c24) and [there](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1810421#c38). While we'll be working on fixing this, it would help us a lot if you can confirm the following:
- Do you have Location Services set to Off in Windows?
- Do you have `geo.enabled` set to `true` if you navigate to `about:config` in Firefox?
- Does setting `geo.enabled` to `false` fix the issue?

Our current hypothesis is that:
- You are using location services in Firefox but the Microsoft provider is unavailable.
- So Firefox falls back to using its own location services, which includes periodic scans of nearby Wi-Fi APs.
- Some network cards are unable to service regular network activity during scans.

- Does setting `geo.enabled` to `false` and restarting the browser fix the issue? Same question with setting `geo.enabled` to `true`, but `geo.provider.network.scan` to `false`?
- Do you expect that geo location should continue to work in Firefox when Location Services are Off in Windows?

Our current hypothesis is that:
- You are using location services in Firefox but the Microsoft provider is unavailable.
- So Firefox falls back to using its own location services, which includes periodic scans of nearby Wi-Fi APs.
- Some network cards are unable to service regular network activity during scans.

We wonder whether we should propagate the user's choice in Windows configuration to Firefox when they disable Location Services, and not use a fallback in that case.

Our current hypothesis is that:
- You are using location services in Firefox but the Microsoft provider is unavailable because Location Services are Off in Windows.
- So Firefox falls back to using its own location services, which includes periodic scans of nearby Wi-Fi APs, currently every 5 seconds.
- Some network cards are unable to service regular network activity during scans.

We wonder whether we should propagate the user's choice in Windows configuration to Firefox when they disable Location Services, and not use a fallback in that case.
