[Bug 1860830] Re: Geolocation not working − the Google maps API always returns error codes

[Rafael Romero]

75.0 (64-bit) Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu - Canonical 1.0 here.
Geolocation not working, it did work in 74.0 but had not worked in 73.0.
API key present (AIzaSyAeBu...4qR5UXs), but gets a Status Code 429: No
Reason Phrase error. IP/port contacted is 172.217.14.234:443.

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

Doesn't work with Mozilla's uri either:
https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%

in the latter case the IP/port contacted is 172.217.3.170:443

The error reported is the same: Status Code 429: No Reason Phrase. I
know a 429 is usually a "too many requests" so my guess is that the API
key is exceeding some max limit, and must be shared by all of us using
Firefox on Ubuntu.

Regular Firefox versions work fine, Chronmium & Chrome work fine, and
everything works fine on other OSs, so at this point it's the Canonical-
modified Firefox version on Linux only --the one for many reason I must
use every day.
