User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 Build ID: 20170317231433 Steps to reproduce: Enter about:config. Actual results: By default under the 'geo.wifi.uri' key you can see that Mozilla uses Google Services for geolocation. Expected results: Mozilla Location Services work great for me. PLUS I think that using Google's service by default (in a way that makes it hard to discover!) is an anti-feature. I believe Firefox should use MLS by default: https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=%MOZILLA_API_KEY%
