I just discovered that Firefox supports the geo URI scheme: e.g. Brandenburg Gate (geo:52.516272,13.377722, perhaps SU's markdown doesn't support it). It flashes up a blink-and-you'll-miss-it message "Redirecting to your selected maps website...". For me, at least, that website seems to be qwant.com.

How can I select something else? I expected it to be configured alongside my search engine in the "Search" section, but I can't see anything there, or even in about:config.

It would be really useful for me to be able to change it to a custom website.

  • geo uri is provided by an add-on, not firefox. Check the add-on configuration. – stark Jan 06 '22 at 12:43
  • Damn, I must have forgotten I installed that! Oops. If you make that an answer, I'll accept it. – Matthew Exon Jan 06 '22 at 13:50
  • It would be more useful for you to post which add-on you're using and how to configure as an answer. It's fine to answer your own question if it helps someone else. – stark Jan 06 '22 at 14:22

Turns out I had installed the Geo URI Handler plugin ages ago and forgotten about it. This is unfortunately not a core feature of Firefox. It can be configured by going to the addons manager about:addons, selecting Geo URI Handler, and in the preferences pane selecting a map from the drop-down list.
