Hi all! I hope this is the right community for this, I have a rather strange issue with Firefox for Android, and I couldn’t find any info on this particular bug(?).

For a while now (though I can’t really put my finger on since when) I can’t grant access in Firefox to location data. The small modal popup appears, but the button that should allow the use of my location just… doesn’t do anything. I can press as many times as I want, but the dialog doesn’t disappear, the button does not doing anything. I can see it gets pressed, but no effect.

But not always. Sometimes it works, but 90% of the time it won’t. There are times when I can spam it till I die, other times the button gets pressed after a while, or after trying different angles to press the button. Yeah, I know, it sounds silly. And also, there are cases where it works right the first touch on the “Allow” button.

This feels even worse in Private Browsing session, tho I don’t know is it technically worse, but it definitely feels worse.

I have the latest version of the browser that is available in the Play Store. Android version 14, running Samsung One UI 6.1.

Checking system settings lead to nowhere, it seems every relevant setting is OK, but I haven’t changed anything around them in a good while.

As I said, I’m not sure whether a Firefox update or an Android/One UI system update caused this, or what else, it’s like from one day to another, which makes it super weird.

Anyone having any idea? I haven’t tried full data wipe on Firefox nor reinstalling it, I wouldn’t really like to do that, but if there’s nothing else, I may try that too.

Thank you guys and have a nice weekend ;)
