[Bug 1611037] [NEW] Geolocation in firefox doesn't work anymore

[Éric Piel (Delmic)]

Public bug reported:

Since a couple of days (around beginning of August 2016) the geolocation
in Firefox doesn't work anymore. I _think_ (but not entirely sure) this
happened already with Firefox 47.

That seems to affect all the website using the W3C geolocation, but to test, go for example to:
http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php

In the popup, accept to share the location, and the text displayed in the location is:
"The page could not get your location."

My computer is running Ubuntu 16.04, with Firefox
48.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 .

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
