User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20151208200940

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox updated automatically to the new version (43) and html5 geolocation services stopped working. Tried various websites and none can find my location. First found out because I'm developing a WebApp that requires said service. I've reinstalled the 32-bit version and removed to use the 64-bit version and the problem persists.


Actual results:

Html5 Geolocation Service stopped working after update to version 43.


Expected results:

Firefox should be able to find my location through Html5 Geolocation.
WFM with FF43 on http://html5demos.com/geo

Did you verify in about:config that geo.enabled=true?

Could you try:
1) in safe mode:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode
2) with a fresh profile:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
Component: Untriaged → Geolocation
Flags: needinfo?(brunomptorres)
Product: Firefox → Core
http://html5demos.com/geo returns "Finding your location: failed"
geo.enable=true confirmed.

Safe mode doesn't solve.
Fresh profile doesn't solve.
Flags: needinfo?(brunomptorres)
If you downgrade to FF42, does it work?
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/win32/
Yes, the version 42 works.

I have the same problem with FF43.
Version FF42 works great. Problem only exists in FF43 (32-bit and 64 bit).
Tested FF43 for Android don't have this bug. 

Maybe need to be moved to Firefox Desktop only.
As it works with 42 but not with 43, maybe there i a regression bug triggered on your machine (as I'm not able to reproduce it on my side). So could you install the dev tool mozregression to find a regression range: http://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/

You need to install python 2.7 and the package mozregression (pick the command-line version, see the documentation).

After that, run the command: "mozregression --bits=32 --good=42"
and run the test http://html5demos.com/geo to know if each build downloaded is bad or good.

Then copy here the pushlog displayed in the console output.
Flags: needinfo?(brunomptorres)
Keywords: regressionwindow-wanted
There you go @Loic. Every build downloaded was good and the geolocation worked as expected.

λ mozregression --bits=32 --good=42
**********
You should use a config file. Please use the --write-config command line flag to help you create one.

So IIUC, you never hit a bad build when trying to bisect with mozregression. That's interesting. On the bright side, I can reproduce the problem at http://html5demos.com/geo. I'll see what I can figure out.
Doesn't reproduce on the final Aurora44 nightly, but it does reproduce on the current Beta44 tinderbox builds. So whatever's going on appears to be happening on release builds only.

Indeed, it's recent enough that I can. However, I'm really confused by the result.

https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/pushloghtml?fromchange=2efcef291e80&tochange=fb7f14adf833

The first bad build was an addon blocklist update?!?!
2efcef291e80 - Loads OK
fb7f14adf833 - Fails

I'm really at a loss here. No interesting buildbot-config changes around that time either.
Why are you not getting the same regression range as comment 13?
I can reproduce on Firefox43.0 and Beta44.0, but not Firefox42.0, Aurora45.0a2 and Nightly46.0a1.

I also got same result as RyanVM's results.

The bugs surrounding changes to the geolocation settings for 43 are mozilla-internal only, I'll pull in Chris and Hanno to take a look at this.

Summary: Fx 43 on Windows is confirmed to not have geolocation working with GLS geo.wifi.uri, works ok with MLS.

Any idea what is up? Was GLS API key removed from windows builders for Fx43?

CC Doug & Chris FYI

Flags: needinfo?(catlee)
Doug can probably explain best. We recently rotated the Google API key, and the new key only went into certain builds. Potentially the new key might not be cleared for geolocation yet, or it has rate limits on it. But it's very likely the failures are related to the API key and not to any code patches.
Flags: needinfo?(hschlichting)
One more bit, we are getting a "daily limit exceeded" error when using the API key shipped in current beta 43. You can verify yourself via something like:

curl -i -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=<...> -d '{"cellTowers": [{"radioType": "gsm", "mobileCountryCode": 302, "mobileNetworkCode": 720, "locationAreaCode": 56350, "cellId": 23024}]}'

and replace ?key=<...> with the actual key. The key I see starts with "AI" and ends in "CM".
I don't know the current state of geolocation, so I will defer this question to Hanno and Doug.
Flags: needinfo?(cpeterson)
Is this something we can hotfix or do we need to do a build 2 of 43.0.1?
Talking with doug just now, it sounds like Google may fix this on their end. But, since we don't know when that will happen, if you give me a patch and land it on m-r, we can do a speculative build 2.  

I would be happier to release build 1 since we already have it built and tested. Build 2 will take hours and then will need QE testing and update tests. We are also about to release beta 1. So, please let me know as soon as possible when/if we have a patch here, or a fix from Google updating our rate limits.

using the key above I get:

Uh oh. 404 sounds not ideal.  Also, Hanno is not in our time zone and I don't see him on irc. Is there anyone else we should bring in to have a look?
Looks like the old key worked with the following values:

Are you using Ubuntu's own Firefox build or Mozilla's Linux Firefox build from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ ? Ubuntu's builds might not have a GOOGLE_API_KEY so the Google geo.wifi.uri would return an error.

Does geolocation work if you set geo.wifi.uri to use Mozilla's location service?

No.
geolocation is working as expected now, using the exact same settings as when it wasn't working earlier (default geo.wifi.uri). I didn't change any code, or any part of the browser or OS. I don't know any helpful information I can report for this issue.
Maybe the quota was expired on the google API key when that was failing?
As this seems to be on Linux, bug 1458624 could be a factor.
This seems to have cropped up again. I can't seem to use geoLocation API on any website that it previously worked on.

Firefox version: 63.0.3 (64-bit)

>navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(position => {
>  console.info(position)
>}, error => {
>  console.error(error)
>})

Running this basic code snippet in the console returns a PositionError object with the message "Unknown error acquiring position"

about:config "geo.wifi.uri" is set to 

>https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%

Code snippet is tested in Chrome/IE and works as expected. 

Only thing I can see that could have caused a bug is that the google docs page has recently been updated

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/intro - "Last updated November 26, 2018"

Any ideas?
It was also reported in the German-language support today that the geolocation API no longer works in Firefox.

> How many requests did you do?

Me personally? None to my knowledge yesterday (Unless there was sites I used that called it) started working on my feature using geolocation API this morning and got this error straight away.

How does it work out what %GOOGLE_API_KEY% is? Is that unique per user? If it's one key then surely the rate limit quota applies to every user in the world? And once one person rate limits it, that's it for everyone?

I opened up Firefox on my colleagues machine, and went off my network onto 4G (He uses chrome as default) and ran the snippet code above and got exactly the same results immediately. 

With that level of replication I wouldn't say it's a rate limit for just me (Certainly is german-language support is having issues too)
Same here. German Firefox is not working. Same error on my page. It has worked a view months. If i changed geo.wifi.uri to https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test it's ok. But i hav'nt changed anything bevore. Did Firefox not use the location service of my device.
