Glad to hear you sorted that one out. However you having to add apps
to geoclue.conf is still an issue. If you could possibly follow up on
that bug and if you could possibly dig deeper, that would be extremely
helpful since I can't reproduce the issue. I'll still have a closer
look to see what might be the issue today..

That's likely cause your area's wifi networks are not in Mozilla
location services database. You can easily fix that if you have an
android phone:
