Comment:
It's not possible for us to ship google API keys, but we have mozilla keys, so we should switch to their location provider.
1. test that a map doesn't load on https://browserleaks.com/geo
2. open about:settings
3. replace value of `geo.provider.network.url` with `https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%`
4. test that a map loads on https://browserleaks.com/geo with your location (after allowing location access in a popup)

Why is it not possible for us exactly? Arch, Ubuntu etc. can: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/firefox/trunk/PKGBUILD
Actually I've tried with Arch's API key and it works: https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=AIzaSyDwr302FpOSkGRpLlUpPThNTDPbXcIn_FM
But it's not fair for us to use their key, so I reverted it.
Mozilla API thinks I live in a completely different town, I guess there is a reason why Google is the default.

It gets my location correct to 5 meters, maybe it's using GPS for me.

Ok, I get that. In this case, the default value of "geo.provider.network.url" about:config option should be "https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%" on our Firefox package.
But I wonder how Arch manages to get their own API key then? From the PKGBUILD of Arch:
> Google API keys (see http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys). Note: These are for Arch Linux use ONLY. For your own distribution, please get your own set of keys. Feel free to contact foutrelis@archlinux.org for more information.
Maybe, it doesn't apply to the distro specific builds of Firefox.

Yes the Google API keys still work for using the GEO api and some other stuff, maybe safebrowsing, I think the previous API keys were from a private google account and the uncertainty about if the keys simply don't work anymore with those apis they shut down or if there is some abuse potential when those api keys are made public and would fall back on the person who requested the keys resulted in just dropping the google api key from everywhere.

That's great to hear. Then I assume we can get new keys specific to Void's Firefox build?

I'd rather not risk my google account, you could use your own key instead of the variable in `geo.provider.network.url`.
Maybe someone in the core team could get a new key, but its not going to be me, I just maintain the browser packages.

I totally understand, thank you. It's not worth it if it's legally questionable. Until a core team member gets a key for Void officially, I think the best solution is making the Mozilla API default.

`It works perfectly with official binary release.`
I've been using the official binary release for a while now and it doesn't work there either. So this has got to be an upstream bug or a bug in e.g. geoclue.

It doesn't matter actually. Our build won't work properly with a Google API as default until we get a Google API key, no matter what upstream does.
Have you tried 96.0?

Closed issue by ghost on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/34728
Description:
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/tree/master/srcpkgs/firefox
Geolocation does not work on any website right now. It works perfectly with official binary release.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1610306
Our build has just --with-mozilla-api-keyfile compile option. But upstream default is "https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_LOCATION_SERVICE_API_KEY%" for "geo.provider.network.url" about:config setting. We need Google location api keys too apparently.
I can understand the privacy concerns for that, but one needs to explicitly allow location access. The other choice is a broken functionality.
