We can use location portal to implement it: https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.Location

Attachment: Bug 1759840 Add support for location portal; r=emilio

The Firefox in flatpak has no access to the wireless networks to determine
accurate geolocation. We have to use the location portal instead which
provides the current location based on the nearby wireless accesspoints
or other methods.
