That's correct. By default as of 65 (bug 1512161), Firefox uses geolocation APIs provided by the OS on Windows and macOS. Linux doesn't have a standard geolocation API, so Firefox on Linux always uses GLS (or MLS). Firefox on Linux *does* a `geo.provider.use_gpsd` pref to use the "gpsd" API to connect to a hardware GPS device. We've never really tested this code and these GPS devices are probably rare for desktop users, so I think we SHOULD NOT enable `geo.provider.use_gpsd` pref.
