So then its not finding your position "to the street"?

:)

What about the Location settings for the phone itself? Is GPS all active?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Yup, GPS is active. I've even tried using Fennec when I have Nokia Maps on. It keeps throwing me to Texas. =(

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

That's not right.

:p

I don't know...maybe check your location settings for "Google"? Maybe try to reset that...and/or uninstall that first "location" app?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I've uninstalled geolocation, and I even uninstalled Fennec. No such luck, off to consult Google for this issue. Maybe somebody else has this issue.

It's not just Google. It's Flickr, any site that can find your location. Even Near Me. It's... odd.

Can anyone confirm if Fennec even uses the N900's GPS at all? For those of you getting an accurate address are you on WiFi or a cellular data plan?


Edit: By default, Firefox uses Google Location Services to determine your location by sending:

It's a limited release made available to those active in bugzilla.maemo.org - not for wider distribution. See PR1.1 thread.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

a question for the people who tried the beta is it ok for a noob like me to try it or does it have alot of problems?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

So more info.

Seems it only reports me in Texas if I use my home Verizon DSL. At my girlfriend's apartment this weekend I used her Verizon FIOS connection and it correctly put me in MD (not exactly same street but same city).

Oddly when using it on TMobile Internet it doesn't seem to work at all.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

just downloaded firefox from firefox.com/m in my n810 and loving to have kinetic scrolling and double tap to zoom(discovered so far :)). It takes a little longer than inbuilt browser but reasonable with all those extra features in it. However, though javascript is enabled (according to settings) webpages still says "javascript must be enabled ....." and can't play flash. Am I missing something here? Thanks

Try changing the suplicant server to google's and see if it fixes it? At least that would confirm one of the causes.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I'll go ahead and try but the GPS works normally (with applications that use the GPS in the default browser (with the geolocation add-on like maemaps) and Ovi Maps work fine. Digital camera tagging works fine so it's not the fix acquiring that I'm having problems with. Unless Fennec uses solely that information and nothing about the GPS at all (that tidbit I read about geolocation seems to say Google estimates it based on your wireless router's position).

Edit: Tried it, it made no difference. WiFi (Verizon DSL) still reports Texas. Switching to TMobile internet results it it not being able to find your location (just keeps going and going).

How dissapointing. This was one of the things I was looking forward to Fennec. Hopefully it's just an odd bug that will be fixed in a final release.
