Is there something about your Chrome and FF configurations that have them
using different DNS sources? For example is one doing DoH and the other
using the system resolver? Different DNS servers may be geographically
diverse, getting different GLB answers, and sending you to different
WhatsApp servers?

Just a thought.

When I go to https://www.whatsapp.com/ I see the page in Latvian - but
only on FF.

When using Chrome I see the page in English.

So who is doing bad geolocation?  FF or Whatsapp?


Thanks,
