Works using Wikipedia's nearby feature https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Nearby and Google Maps for me on a Nexus 5x and Firefox for Android Nightly 64.0a1.

Working for me on Pixel2 with Android 9, nightly 65.  
It must be a device-specific issue. 
Does it work in Focus on those devices?

Focus does not support geolocation.

Hi Liz, I tried to reproduce this issue with Samsung Galaxy Note 8(Android 8.0) and OnePlus 5T(Android 8.1.0) but I was not able. Also, I tried to reproduce on focus version, like Kevin mentioned, the focus version doesn't support geolocation.
It seems to be reproducible only on those devices mentioned on description.

Thank you!
