Geolocation pop-up won't go away

This is so annoying. The geolocation box on some webpages just pops up on every single page you view. Even if you click share location it asks again & again. I totally get how useful the feature is but when it behaves like this it makes me want to stop using FF!!! How do you fix it? I'm really at the stage where I don't care how useful the feature is if I have to turn it off completely for every webpage to make it stop then I will!!! Or I'll just switch to Safari or Chrome.

Could you try using the little triangle on that panel to show the drop-down and store a permanent decision for the site? Please see the attached screenshot to see what I mean. Does that work for you?

The screenshot also shows the site permissions panel, which is part of the Page Info dialog, and how the drop-down panel relates to the dialog. Since that dialog is handy for a variety of things, here's how it works:

Call up the Permissions panel of the Page Info dialog using any of these:

  • right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Permissions
  • (menu bar) Tools menu > Page Info > Permissions
  • click the padlock or "i" icon to the left of the site address, then the ">" icon, then More Information > Permissions

Near the top, you'll find "Access Your Location" and you can uncheck the "Use default" box and select the permission you prefer.
