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.
