How do I get firefox to stop asking for location services?
Every 30 seconds or so Firefox asks me to confirm location services. I keep telling it to always remember my decision, but it asks again anyways. I have uninstalled and re-installed, and I have accessed the settings in several different ways. How do I get it to stop?

Hi Nathan, does this relate to a specific website wanting to use your location? Normally No means No, so I wonder whether it could be triggered by an add-on.
Could you test in Firefox's Troubleshoot Mode? In that mode, Firefox temporarily deactivates extensions, hardware acceleration, any userChrome.css/userContent.css files, and some other advanced features to help you assess whether these are causing the problem.
If Firefox is running:
You can restart Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode using either:
- "3-bar" menu button > Help > Troubleshoot Mode...
- (menu bar) Help menu > Troubleshoot Mode...
and OK the restart. A small dialog should appear. Click the Open button.
If Firefox is not running:
Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox. (On Mac, hold down the option/alt key instead of the Shift key.) A small dialog should appear. Click the Open button.
Note: Don't use the Refresh without first reviewing this article to understand what will be deleted: Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings.
Any improvement?
