@pm-smayer97, the issue you identified may be browser related.  Public Mobile web pages seem have issues on universal compatibility.  On some browsers, the site just doesn't want to play nice.  I tried the store locater for the very first time just now.  On first launch, I got the oops error.  A refresh and the site loaded properly in spite of not allowing location sharing.  The right city was located but nowhere near where I was.  I think the new site is 9/10.

Again, I'm just sharing my expereince. It is up to the web programmers to sort it out...

But how many devices/how many browsers did you try? It's not up to the "web programmers" to work around free whatever add-ons/filters that any browser might have.

Allow javascript, allow cookies. Those are the two big guns.

ALL enabled...not the issues. And as pointed out before, all extensions were disabled... and that is even proven with Private Mode...

the way its setup, is the way it is. We aren't programmers, thats the webmaster side and i dont think u can contact them. 

Are u using a vpn? i dont see why otherwise it would be a issue.

No vpn. But also tried Private Browsing window... same behaviour....

Only works if I share location.

@pm-smayer97  I clicked "don't allow" my location, then it worked fine. Are you using script

blocker or something?

---

So I tried turning off my AdBlockPlus, varying the setting: just for this page, for all of Public Mobile, everyhwere, and even disabling the extension. Regardless of the choice, nothing worked UNLESS I choose Share Location.

I have several add-ons and such in my Firefox and the page doesn't work at all well. I use Edge when I need an unfettered browser. It works there.
