The subject more or less says it all. Since updating to 2.0.4.14 Fiskarsinjoki I have not been able to use HTML5 geolocation with the Android Mozilla Firefox (49.0) browser on my Jolla phone. Pages like http://html5demos.com/geo or http://maps.google.com never complete the geolocation request. These pages used to work just fine, but no longer. The Jolla browser doesn't support geolocation, so this is not a workaround. It may have stopped working in Aurajoki update, but cannot tell exactly.

Any ideas how to get this working again?

Yes, It was this new setting Location in it's default values which caused this. Now that I enabled Settings>Location>Location and High accuracy positioning geolocation requests work, also in Jolla browser. Thanks!

Did you check your GPS settings after the update? There is new GPS related stuff there and at least for me the default settings were altered and I had to change them to get GPS lock on some Android apps.
