The suggested test doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Depending on the device type, it is possible to get location information from either a local GPS chip, or if a cell connection on FxOS exists over a cell data connection. On desktop a wired ethernet connection or a shared bluetooth connection could all be used to gain internet access. In all those cases a geolocation can and should be available even if Wifi is disabled.
