Asking the other way around, why are we doing this? Ad hoc it just looks like more code to maintain.
We have been moving to system services where possible. We already did this on the Android. System service have a much better opportunity to already have location data allowing us to avoid a trip to GLS
Also, is there documentation on how the mac does geo location?
Yes.
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?
This is not a 3rd party location service. This is part of the Core APIs of the operating system. The privacy policy may need to be modified before this change hits beta. I have already notified legal about the possiblity of this change.
