Firefox geolocation is showing me in the wrong place. I live in Lakeway, TX but when I use the "give it a try" link in the Location-Aware browsing FAQ page it shows me in Escondido, CA. This also affects my location on other webpages.

What does this web page say about your location? http://whatismyipaddress.com/ Under the map, look for Location not accurate?

That site show me in Escondido, CA. When I click "Update Location" and give permission to share location the map never loads to update. Underneath that it shows a box with W3C with no info, Provider A shows Richardson, TX, Provider B shows Escondido, CA.
