            Bug ID: 233095
           Summary: firefox geolocation no longer working
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fbsd@opal.com

The geolocation code in netwerk/wifi/nsWifiScannerFreeBSD.cpp is failing to
return lat/lon location.

Repeat by going to:
    http://html5demos.com/geo
Grant it location access permission.  It fails.  It should work and show yo=
ur
lat/lon position.

I wrote the code in nsWifiScannerFreeBSD.cpp back in 2012.  I believe the w=
ifi
lookup code itself is still good.  I have verified it is being compiled in =
(it
is, it's in libxul.so).  I have run firefox with debugging enabled and see =
that
the code is still finding the local wifi networks (run firefox with
"-MOZ_LOG=3Dtimestamp,WifiMonitor:4" to see this).

A manual test of the geolocation API per the instructions here:
    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation/intro
seems to show that the API key we are using has expired and billing needs t=
o be
enabled on it.  Firefox appears to be getting the daily usage limit exceeded
error.
