That is normal https port, some websites may reference it directly while others skip it, it is fine. You can edit permissions on a per site basis to always ask, block, or allow location access by clicking on the lock icon > Connection (secure/unsecured) > More Information, then change to Permissions tab and set it how you want.

If tired of being prompted about location on all sites you can go into Settings > Privacy & Security, scroll to Permissions, click Settings next to Location, click 'Block new requests' and save changes. Per site allow/block/ask can still be configured.

Blocking it browser wide worked, but it is a bit inconvenient; the site was prompting everytime i was just browsing it even though i clicked remember the decision.
