It's still not working on Precise (amd64), with package version
28.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1.
But the symptom is a bit different.
Before, the geolocation API was never responding. Usually, the website ended up
on a timeout.
Now, the goelocation API always returns an error :
Error code : 2

@Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson): Thanks, with the actual update (28.0,
Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu, canonical - 1.0) google geo location maps
seem to display again.
It took about 6 months (not days!) to correct this bug; disappointing.

The computer I was using has no Wifi so it must be an IP-based geolocation.
Now it's working on this 64bit ubuntu precise.
I also tested on another computer with Wifi (32bit, also Precise).
Geolocation also works
Thanks. I see this as an improvement, but there are some issues.
1) LAN Ubuntu Firefox version gives no location.
2) LAN Mozilla Firefox downloaded from Mozilla gives no location.
3) LAN Chrome at times give no location (even reports a 404 in the

Thanks, Chris.
It's sad for me, but this event was the straw the broke the camel's
back, and I have abandoned Linux on the desktop after ~15 years (Debian
hamm). If a so-called LTS release could not support an essential
function in one of the handful of its most important applications, then

I tested on latest daily-live 14.04 build and it is still a bug in
Firefox.
As I personally know nobody as a very good Ubuntu developers I have
faith in that this will be fixed soon (fingers crossed).

Echoing #9 - I'm disappointed that Ubuntu just seem to be sitting on
this bug and doing nothing which is hard to understand when you realise
that its not a huge problem to fix it. Manually installing the Official
Mozilla release fixes the problem but then means I have to manually keep
that
The problem stays after update to firefox 26.0. For all that need geo
location maps and therefor need to change to the mozilla/firefox release
please note that a 64bit version is available at

This is really astonishing, I just upgraded Ubuntu's Firefox to version
26.0 and geolocation is still not working. The identical version from
Mozilla works flawlessly.
I am very disappointed that there has been no acknowledgement of this
bug by Ubuntu.

I'm one of the Firefox developers working on the geolocation code.
Comment 5 is correct; the Ubuntu releases of Firefox need a key provided
by Google in order to access the service. Note that this also impacts
safebrowsing requests. The key can be added to the build with the
configure flag
I believe that
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/geolocation/
is the relevant information page for obtaining a key.

I just upgraded Ubuntu's firefox from the repos. It is now on version
25.0.1. Geoloacation is still not working in the Ubuntu version.
The identical version from Mozilla works flawlessly.

I installed firefox v23.01 to /opt. It picked up my settings from
~/.mozilla and everything, including geolocation worked fine.
I then let it upgrade to v25. No problems, everything, including
geolocation, worked fine.
So, I swapped back to Ubuntu Firefox v25. Sadly, geolocation stopped
working.
Looking here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=919153
It seems that each distro needs a new key from Google for location
tracking, er, discovery. Presumably this is at the root of the problem.
