What happened to the about:config item "geo.wifi.uri" in FireFox 9

In earlier versions of FireFox I disabled the Google geolocation access by setting the mentioned item to null. This still left geolocation operating and allowed my application to use an attached GPS receiver.

However, now I am on FireFox 9 and the config item is no longer there.

Are there some new and special controls gor managing geolocation in FF9?

Thanks.

This is the only reference I could find about that preference in Mozilla documentation.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Firefox/Updating_add-ons_for_Firefox_9#Preference_changes

Looks like that pref has been removed as a default pref, but it should still work when it is added as a new Boolean pref in about:config or in a user.js file. Also, if that pref was "user set" from the default value it should carry thru during a Firefox update; but it isn't present on a new installation or if a new Profile would be created.


That change may be related to a change in the Google Location Service (GLS v2 ) - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677256

Here's a Bug report that sounds similar to what you are looking for - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690387 - but there is no response.

Looking further, I think my question goes deeper: How do you turn on GPSD geolocation in Firefox?

I have a simple application that calls the Geolocation api. With the former "fix" of setting the geo.wifi.uri to blank, the NetworkGeolocationProvider.js script would simply fail and the GPSDGeolocationProvider.js script would reference the attached gps device using gpsd and report the location to me. Now I cannot even FIND the GPSDLocationProvider.js script!

What has happened to GPSD Geolocation support in FireFox?
