Comment # 4 on bug 1226821 from Episteme PROMENEUR

Hello

here are the details of geo keys in about:support :

Clé du service de localisation de Google Manquante (not found)
Clé de Google Safebrowsing Présente (found)
Clé du service de localisation de Mozilla Présente (found)

For some years Firefox by default used geoclue.

If I understand well, geoclue uses MLS for geo ip location.
And MLS has definitively closed since 2024/06/12.

We need a Google geolocation api key or a new geolocation service for Linux
