Yeah I know microb can do it since I have it installed. I'm talking about Firefox though. It doesn't seem to..

a) activate the GPS (no icon in the status menu).
b) won't show anything if I'm using TMobile Internet. Firefox seems to base the geolocation completly on where your network thinks you are. I know this because it works when I'm using a Wifi router but not when I'm using TMobile Internet.

The question is where is the problem. Is it on TMobile's end? Firefox's end? My device? So if anyone who has a TMobile data plan in the USA please help me answer my following questions.

1) When you use geolocation extensions or services in Firefox, does the GPS icon pop up? What kind of accuracy does it report (fine, coarse?)
2) What APN are you using? I've tried all the TMobile ones (I'm on the smartphone data plan).
