In Bug 874587, we are considering using Core Location as the default
geolocation provider on the Mac. This would replace the use of the
NetworkGeolocationProvider (that currently points to GLS). After code
reviews, we plan to enable this on Nightly and see how it goes.
On Android, we already due use the system location provider and not the
NetworkGeolocationProvider... so this isn't something unexpected.
The main difference is that you will get one prompt from the OS the
first time you use geolocation from Firefox -- just like every other
standard Mac application.
Does anyone have any concern that is specific to change from the
NetworkGeolocationProvider to a Mac platform specific one?
Asking the other way around, why are we doing this? Ad hoc it just looks
like more code to maintain.
Also, is there documentation on how the mac does geo location?
We also make statements about our requirements on 3rd party location
services in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/privacy/firefox.html.
Depending on how mac locates, those may or may not hold?
