Firefox's gpsd code is not enabled by default (and, according to bug 1763347, doesn't work). We should remove gpsd support by deleting `MOZ_GPSD` code and GpsdLocationProvider.cpp/h files: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=MOZ_GPSD https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=GpsdLocationProvider Firefox's solution for geolocation on Linux is: 1. Geoclue (enabled in Firefox 102 in bug 1769664) 2. Mozilla's Location Service (MLS) if Geoclue is available or returns an error. (bug 1772125) Geoclue supports multiple geolocation providers, including GPS devices, so Firefox can still benefit from GPS devices, even if we're not calling gpsd directly. https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue
