Bug Description
Sounds similar to #1860830 but this is happening on Firefox 73 not 72 for me. Websites that worked prior to update no longer work. One site is www.hulu.com that needs location information but now says it is unable to determine my location. Opened different browser and location services work as expected. Looks like the Mozilla location services key is missing.

The issue wasn't resolved for Firefox 72 so bug 1860830 is still relevant. Marking as a duplicate of that bug.
