I think this is a gnome bug rather than an ff one, but it's pretty shit on my desktop. It reports absurd (<10ft) accuracy while being off by miles. Edit: s/100

Edit: s/100ft/10ft after I remembered better
- kelnos 3y agoOn the desktop, it might be limited in the sources it has. GeoIP is one source, of course, but that's often wrong or too coarse-grained (or distorted by things like VPNs). The BSSIDs of nearby WiFi access points can help make that better, but that depends on you being close enough to APs in its dataset. Most desktops don't have actual GPS hardware.
