I have a php / javascript based web-application that is running since years very well.

On some pages I am using geolocation, mainly on Android-smartphones.

Since some weeks only in Firefox (Standard, Beta and Nightly) the geolocation is very slow or I get a timeout. The timeout-option is set to 60 sec.

The application has no problems on Chrome, Opera, DuckDuckGo or the MI-Browser from Xiaomi, so I am sure that will be a bug in Firefox 107.2.0 for Android and not in my Application.


Additional Informations:

My location: Darmstadt / Germany.

The issue is tested on 2 android smartphones and a PC.

The geolocation on the pc is normal fast, less than 5 seconds.
