Description

Hi. I'm using Lineage OS for MicroG 17.1:

The Mozilla UnifiedNLP requests the location every 60 seconds if I enable location services. It shows the GPS icon for a few seconds and this repeats every minute.

In the location settings I figured out that the requests are made by Mozilla UnifiedNLP.

The behavior stops if I allow the location permission only if in foreground, but, unfortunately, the NLP stops working at all then.

What can I do to debug this issue?

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the repeated location requests on Android 10 with LineageOS 17.1 and foreground-only versus background location permission, then trace Mozilla UnifiedNLP's request path; the issue does not define a concrete fix or completion condition.
