Default Disable Location-Aware Browsing (Geolocation) In Firefox

Source Disable Location-Aware Browsing (Geolocation) In Firefox

The next installment of the Firefox web browser comes with a new location-aware browsing (geolocation) feature that is enabled by default. Geolocation makes it possible to identify the user’s location in the world based on data such as the computer’s IP address. It has to be noted that messages will be displayed whenever the user opens a website that makes use of the new location-aware browsing feature. The message looks similar to those when installing add-ons from third party websites and basically gives the user the choice to allow or disallow the gelocation service on that specific website.
A click on the Share Location button will share the current location with the website while a click on Don’t Share will prevent it
