Public bug reported: 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.
