[Bug 1260302] Re: Firefox does not support Geolocation

[blaamann]

** 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
