Description
Episteme PROMENEUR
2024-06-23 12:03:06 UTC
I made an error. With Chrome, no problem. Firefox team assume this is an openSUSE problem. ""API key not valid." see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1904291 Firefox uses geoclue for geolocation. So, it is strange that we get a Google geolocation api error. 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. See https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/03/mozilla-location-services-axed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39724505 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2959 Mozilla Location Service shutting down June 12 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/issues/186#top We need a Google geolocation api key or a new geolocation service for Linux Geoclue project does not evolve for many years. There is a lack of developers. You can't rely on this project. Is there any other project ? |
