            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 at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: fbsd at 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 your
lat/lon position.

I wrote the code in nsWifiScannerFreeBSD.cpp back in 2012.  I believe the wifi
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=timestamp,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 to be
enabled on it.  Firefox appears to be getting the daily usage limit exceeded
error.
