I work for a library and we have a custom profile for our public when using Firefox. We have a set homepage link which requests the user to share their location. I want to know what file is that information saved to so I can set the homepage geo location preference in advance.

All such Site Preferences are stored in the permissions.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:

  • Click the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
  • Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
  • Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to inspect the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
