As explained in bug 689252, the preferences "geo.wifi.uri" and "geo.wifi.protocol" will cease to have any meaning in Firefox. We need to flag all instances of these preferences and show an error.

This is a compatibility error, so the add-on should not be upgraded in this case.

Message:

The "geo.wifi.*" preferences are no longer in use. See <LINK> for more information.

Since these are still readable, should this be an error instead of a warning? Not sure the validator can tell if an addon deals with the absence of these properties correctly.
It is still an error because trying to access the preference without setting it first will throw an exception.
Fixed. https://github.com/mozilla/amo-validator/commit/b0379f295723c392a0cd26bdde529d743a978f39
