I am getting the page that explains enabling geolocation and clicking on try it... map comes up, but then when I try to access the website that requires my location, it says it still can't find it. ... how do I enable geolocation on Firefox?

Does Firefox ask for permission to report your location to the website server?

If Geolocation isn't used then websites can do a reverse DNS look up of your IP address and that is usually not very accurate. Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.
