Location Access in FireFox Update

Hi,

I have been using FireFox for as long as I can remember. But this latest updated has started accessing my location and it keeps on opening the location setting of my windows. I have enabling the "Block new requests asking to access your location" but it still keeps opening.

So, my question is simple, why the **bleep** FireFox needs my location all of a sudden???????????????????
It never asked me before and this is one of the reason I liked FireFox it does not do **bleep** like Chrome.

How can I avoid this location bull**bleep**?

Thank you.
