Works here on my krillin running rc-proposed #163.
Note that it consistently failed in all applications using the location service until I rebooted the device, and it started working again.
This is most likely a bug in location-service anyway, not in webbrowser-app. Can you confirm that you fail to get a location fix in e.g. the OSMTouch application?

Changed in webbrowser-app (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid

When the failure happens get a location fix works fine on HERE map and OSMTouch map.

That’s puzzling because Here Maps and facebook in the browser use exactly the same code path (they both poke at the location service through oxide).
