Bug 1759840 Add support for location portal; r=emilio
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

Since the application in flatpak cannot access the list of wireless network the location API returns only approximate location.

Blocks: flatpak

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

Assignee: nobody → jhorak

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.
