** Description changed:
- Firefox does not support Geolocation API.
+ Ubuntu Firefox does not support Geolocation API.
Example:
http://html5demos.com/geo
or
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples
/map-geolocation
My guess it that this is because Canonical build Firefox without
Geolocation support, or because Firefox for Ubuntu does not include a
Google API key that is needed for Geolocation support. This might be
deliberate or it may be because upstream Mozilla Firefox source code
does not include this API key (they are probably not allowed to include
it). Maybe each distro needs to include their own key.
This is a bug on 13.04 and 13.10
