Unfortunately there is not widespread adoption of geolocation on the internet, so I won't have a large list of websites to very compatibility with.

For reference, here is our general page that explains what Geolocation is: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/

We do need help making sure geolocation works for you, isn't confusing, and doesn't break things (like Add-ons, private browsing, etc...).

Here is what Geolocation has:

  • visit a site that asks for information
    • choose to "Share Location"
    • option to remember your choice for that specific website
  • ability to remove your geolocation preferences (remembered sites) in the "Clear Recent History" tool.

Here are some test sites that use the new Geolocation API:

* http://people.mozilla.org/~dougt/geo.html
* http://people.mozilla.com/~jmaher/wifi.html
* http://brightkite.com (you need to sign up and find the "guess my location")
