When will Mozilla Location Service be the default location provider in firefox?

Not that Google location does a bad job finding the location, it does a great job, but more like when will we see Firefox cut the last ties with Google and provide its own location service?

We are working on creating our own database, and in some areas it is already the default location provider.

By using Firefox on your android phone (if you have one) and enabling location data collection, you can help make the MLS even more accurate.

Good to hear that it is on the way. In what areas is it the default location provider? Is there a way to manually make it the default location provider as of now?
