Package: iceweasel
Version: 28.0-1
Followup-For: Bug #726230
Still a problem in 28.0.
Also, the previously suggested workaround of changing geo.wifi.url to
https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate/ is incomplete. You need
to append to that ?key=<KEY> replacing <KEY> with some personalized random
gobbledygook. The API docs referenced suggest a uuid, which I used, and
that works. The location quality is VASTLY inferior to what google has
collected, however.
I'm not sure how Google's policies on keeping API keys secret might conflict
with the DFSG guidelines, but from a usability point of view the Google
service is much preferable.
