I use a Firefox preference to pin my location to a spot near, but not at, my house:
user_pref("geo.provider.network.url", 'data:application/json,{"location": {"lat": 45.0, "lng": -122.0}, "accuracy": 128.0}');
I _believe_ this also stops wifi data from leaking anywhere.

It also appears[3][4], that setting geo.provider.testing to true might be required.
