Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Steps to reproduce:
happens everytime i call navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() on every website, unfortunattly I don't know the starting conditions, the console doesn't print any error
happens when the location permission are given for the give website
Actual results:
when you call the method all connections hangs system-wide (windows 10 education V1909) for a good 1-2 seconds, and keeps happening every 10-20 seconds until firefox is restarted
Expected results:
location is given without any connection drops

I tried to reproduce this issue on Windows 10, using the latest Nightly 80.0a1 and Firefox 78.0.2 but with no success.
Madiele92, to eliminate custom settings as a possible cause, can you please try to reproduce this using Firefox with a clean profile (https://goo.gl/AWo6h8), maybe even safe mode (https://goo.gl/AR5o9d)?
Also, could you please provide some examples of websites you are encountering this issue on?
Thanks!
tried with a clean profile the bug still persists
to help you out I made a recording of the but while in a window I ping my server every 0.2 seconds to show how it hags connections outside firefox, it also shows how the bug is still there if you close the tab, it only goes away on restart
also, I encounter the bug on every website, tested by calling the API through the console on various sites like reddit, google, youtube and so on
