Thanks, I was shocked that it wasn't mentioned in the Mozilla post.

I just looked at the location tracking preferences and the default setting for Google maps is "always", as in "whenever your phone is on". O_o

  That's what you must have selected when you installed the app.

  The phone will periodically ask you if you want to keep this setting.

Remember to check that setting after each update, it often gets disabled after an update. I've pointed this out to Apple multiple times and its often fixed for a few releases until their fix regresses and the bug returns.

Why is it limit only? Why cannot I turn it off entirely? And why does it take 6 clicks of separation go get to these settings?
