Why is Android Firefox Nightly frequently connecting to location.services.mozilla.com even with Location disabled in phone, app settings, and permissions?

NextDNS logs are showing connection attempts to location.services.mozilla.com periodically while I'm browsing the web, sometimes as often as every 20 to 30 minutes.

How and why is this happening? Should …
