Google Maps API - Geolocation not working in Firefox

Question

Recently I noticed that geolocation doesn't work on Firefox when using Google Maps API. After googleing for a while, I tried showing my current location (from a laptop, not from mobile) on Google Maps, but it didn't work there as well.

Here's what I have in my geo.wifi.uri in the about:config Firefox's tab:

https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%

Can anyone help me?

I faced the same problem, and from what I found, we can't use Google's Geolocation unless we get our own API key. If you don't mind, you can use Mozilla's Geolocation, but the results will be different from Google's.

You can change https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY% to https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%
