Package: iceweasel
Version: 25.0~b3-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

geolocation is broken because the required Geolocation key is missing. 

STR:
1. about:config, set  geo.wifi.logging.enabled  to  true
2. start Iceweasel in a shell
3. visit http://html5demos.com/geo
4. observe output

It uses the following URL to request a location:
https://www.googleapis.com/geolocation/v1/geolocate?key=no-google-api-key

Google returns status code 400 and complains about missing/incorrect
API key.

The same bug is present in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1235912

I’ve tested it with a new profile with the same results.
