Description Reuben Morais [:reuben] 2012-05-03 09:27:21 PDT 
While testing with http://html5demos.com/geo, a friend was getting weird values for the location on Linux. I can reproduce it on OSX. On https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/system/NetworkGeolocationProvider.js#194 |accessPoints| is always null, and thus we fallback to Google's IP-based lookup. When testing in my own debug build everything works as expected, though.

i don't see this in my local builds either, but it is clearly busted in the nightly.

Components.interfaces.nsIWifiMonitor isn't defined in the nightly.


Reuben,

Could you (and your friend) try one of these builds?  https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/dougt@mozilla.com-32c03fc9fda6/

Works as expected for me.
Aurora is affected by this so you might wanna land that patch there as well.
