How can I block a websites location data request, so it doesn't keep asking? (lemmy.ml)

For example if I were to go to Facebook, you will ask for my location data, and I will say no and never ask again.

Then I go back and it just keeps asking.

Basically every website I visit this happens to.

Is there not a way to just have firefox absolutely stop Facebook from asking again?

Thanks so much for your help

Go to Firefox Settings, search "location", click the first button in results (Permissions > Location heading), check the box to block all new requests and save it, never worry about this again on any site.

I finally took a look at this, after being bombarded again, and I have already had this ticked it turns out. So the setting is not working. I wonder what I should do here? A full uninstall, and re-install maybe? Strange.

Turning this off is one of the first things I do after install. Never had an issue.

Firefox should have a little checkbox next to the decline button to always give the site that answer. Have used it several times.

You can do this browser wide in the all site settings if you prefer to not be bothered just set it to block all new requests.
