the IsBetterLocation functionality in gecko is suppose to filter out locations that haven't change *much*.  The idea was that you might have n geolocation providers all giving gecko different location data.  this code is suppose to figure out which location is better than the others.  However, this is broken in a few ways.

1) accuracy data isn't normalize between location providers

2) most firefox installations only have one provider

3) the code sometimes filters locations that shouldn't be filtered resulting in webpages not getting data when they should 

We need to remove this functionality.
