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:

* your computer’s IP address,
* information about the nearby wireless access points, and
* a random client identifier, which is assigned by Google, that expires every 2 weeks.
