Background stumbling (a.k.a. 'Mozilla Location Service' data setting) will be 
off by default, and will always default to off (I can't predict the future, but 
the 'off' side seems pretty strong in their argument -that no one downloads a 
web browser to be a location stumbler).

Would default to off, which is correct for markets with high wifi coverage, and 
a poor choice for markets with little wifi coverage (India for example). 
Furthermore we have a problem that in places we most need the data, this option 
will be defaulted to off, and there will be a lack of user comprehension of the 
option.

That is a very good idea. Solves the problem mentioned below, and provides a 
better user experience (imaginary user-think: "I looked up a location, I see 
the value of this info, and Firefox is asking me to help contribute location 
info, I will associate this question with providing better info on pages like 
this.").

Fully agree. All those other options will just have to go :).
