Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:71.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/71.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open browser window
  2. Open Web Developer Tools
  3. Click on Responsive Design Mode
    3a. I haven't tried all the simulators, but Galaxy S9 and iPhone 6/7/8 were not working
  4. Go to maps.google.com
  5. Click the compass target button to Show My Location
  6. Click Allow Location Access when prompted for permissions
  7. Exit Responsive Design Mode and reload the page
  8. Google Maps should have no problem finding your location now

Actual results:

Browser thinks for a while and then Google Maps says 'Location cannot be determined.'

I noticed this while developing my app locally and repeated the bug on Google Maps.

Expected results:

The browser should've found my location after I accepted the permissions.

This is on Mac OS 10.15.1 (Catalina) and a new Macbook Pro 16". I was able to reproduce on 2013 Macbook Pro 15" with same OS and Firefox version.

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Thanks for filing. We are starting an effort to make RDM more accurately simulate the device -- not just its appearance -- and this bug will be added to the list.
