Clearing up confusion about Geolocation in Firefox 3.1 beta 1
Chris Blizzard has written a post that tries to clear up some of the confusion that has emerged around the Geolocation functionality that is included in Firefox 3.1 beta 1. The three points he covers are: First, out of the box, Firefox 3.1 beta 1 doesn’t include any back-end providers of location information; Second, we don’t know what we’re going to include with Firefox 3.1 for location information; Third, the browser is providing location information, not information about where you live. Blizzard’s blog post goes into detail on each of these points and is worth a read if you’re unclear about the Geolocation feature as it currently exists in Firefox 3.1 beta 1.
