You can see some more details in the bug where we added this.[1] As I understand it, if you don't provide a key the Geolocation API will not work.

I believe Doug Turner mentioned that Google was amenable to handing out free unlimited keys to community members doing Firefox builds, but I could be wrong on that point.
