In both Release and Nightly, gelocation doesn't work anymore. If I visit a website (like for instance, http://html5demos.com/geo, I got the doorhanger notification about sharing my location, but after I share it nothing happens: to be precise, the GPS icon doesn't blink on Android top bar. On other hand, if I use Opera on the same site, everything works. Here the logcat I got when I'm trying to share the location on Fennec: D/LocationManagerService( 1980): network location requested by an application I/SurfaceFlinger( 1819): id=315 Removed PopupWindow:416718f8 idx=4 Map Size=5 I/SurfaceFlinger( 1819): id=315 Removed PopupWindow:416718f8 idx=-2 Map Size=5 E/Watchdog( 1980): !@Sync 52 E/DataRouter( 1817): usb connection is true E/DataRouter( 1817): DSR is ON.

Notice that both with USB cable connected and disconnected I have the same result, and with both WiFi enabled and disabled. My device info: - Samsung Galaxy S2, GT-I9100 (bought in Europe) - Android 4.0.4 - Kernel: 3.0.15-1056084 dpi@DELL168 #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 22 22:55:24 KST 2012 - Build: IMM76D.XWLPW
i do not believe anything has change in quite a while... Is this a regression? Do you recall when this did work (if at all?).
FWIW User reported that desktop Firefox is able to locate itself on the same site via Wifi.
I don't think I never tried to use geolocation from Firefox. Maybe once. It could be also that the recent Samsung upgrade did something. I honestly have no idea.
I tried to reproduce this by enabling Wifi, letting a geolocation page pop up the question, and then disabling Wifi on my phone. Logcat shows: W/GeckoApp(15233): onLocationChanged Location[mProvider=network,mTime=1349366686237,mLatitude=50.8273951,mLongitude=3.9855081,mHasAltitude=false,mAltitude=0.0,mHasSpeed=false,mSpeed=0.0,mHasBearing=false,mBearing=0.0,mHasAccuracy=true,mAccuracy=20.0,mExtras=Bundle[mParcelledData.dataSize=148]] D/WifiLocator(12570): Too many no-location APs. Will not compute a location nor go to the server. hasLocation=0 noLocation=0 cacheMiss=0 The location is likely cached from previous times, but look at that last message. I'll try rebooting my phone and see if that reproduces.
I suspect the problem is this: You can also request location updates from both the GPS and the Network Location Provider by calling requestLocationUpdates() twice—once for NETWORK_PROVIDER and once for GPS_PROVIDER. Our code seems to check whether it wants to use FINE or COARSE location, then asks Android what the best provider for that would be, and fires the requestLocationUpdates(). However I suppose that if this provider actually fails to provide anything, we will never try the alternates.

Is there any news about it?
Matteo, Could you true loading: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8727858/mozilla/geolocation/geo_highaccuracy.html Same behavior?
Flags: needinfo?(zer0)
As I mentioned to you in IRC, the behavior is changed but still is not working, basically the GPS icon is displayed in the notification bar this time, but the listener in the page doesn't receive any signal. Notice that because I'm in building, the GPS is not able to find my position so is blinking continuously. However, both Opera and Google Maps are able to display my position properly – I believe due the data connection / wifi connection of my mobile. To sum up, on Firefox Mobile I got the GPS icon in the notification bar blinking, but the page is black. On Opera, I got the GPS in the notification bar blinking, and green text with my position are added to the page. Notice also that, as reported, without "high accuracy" I don't even get the GPS icon on the notification bar, with Firefox. Here the log from Firefox when I click on "Share" button: I/GeckoAppShell( 6188): Location provider - high accuracy: true D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): setMinTime 100 W/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): Duplicate add listener for uid 10033 D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): startNavigating D/LocationManagerService( 1978): gps location requested by an application D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): GPS_REQUEST_AGPS_DATA_CONN D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): startUsingNetworkFeature failed D/ConnectivityService( 1978): special network not available D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): startNavigating : SensorAiding is com.android.server.location.GpsLocationProvider$SensorAiding@41bd7f90 V/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): reportStatus status: 3 V/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): reportStatus status: 1 D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): send an intent to notify that the GPS has been enabled or disabled mNavigating = true D/SensorManager( 1978): registerListener :: handle = 0 name= K3DH Acceleration Sensor delay= 60000 Listener= com.android.server.location.GpsLocationProvider$SensorAiding$1@41cd9038 D/AKMD2 ( 1978): akm_set_delay: accel same delay = 200000000 D/SensorManager( 1978): registerListener :: handle = 1 name= AK8975 Magnetic field Sensor delay= 60000 Listener= com.android.server.location.GpsLocationProvider$SensorAiding$2@41d0fcc0 D/AKMD2 ( 1978): akm_set_delay: accel same delay = 60000000 D/AKMD2 ( 1978): akm_set_delay: accel same delay = 60000000 D/AKMD2 ( 1978): akm_set_delay: accel same delay = 60000000 D/GpsLocationProvider( 1978): SensorAidingMakeSensorPacket : Not Ready (3, -1, -1, -1) D/SensorManager( 1978): onAccuracyChanged :: accuracy = 2 D/SensorManager( 1978): registerListener :: handle = 2 name= AK8975 Orientation Sensor delay= 60000 Listener= com.android.server.location.GpsLocationProvider$SensorAiding$3@41a0a4f8 D/AKMD2 ( 1978): akm_enable_sensor: Orientation is enabled.

Sorry, my bad, I didn't understand that some fix was made on Firefox :) I tested with the latest Firefox Nightly, and it seems works fine, both with and without high accuracy!
So what fixed this?
Good question, I don't know what is changed in the latest Nightly that fixed that. :) For sure something is changed between the Nightly of 2012-10-04 and the Nightly of 2012-10-22, because it was the only change I did on my phone: I tested the same code and pages, in the same condition, I didn't update any other components / firmare of the mobile.
