I can't get location-aware browsing working

Location-Aware browsing sounds like it would be really useful for me, but either I can't figure out how to get it activated, or there aren't any commonly used websites that make use of that feature. In the FAQ, the Firefox team mentions going into your Tools section to make some adjustments, but I can't find any such Tools section, and the Preference section, which I assume you must be referring to, doesn't offer any options like that.

One location-aware site that you can test with is http://maps.google.com/ It should detect that it can get location information from your browser. Another is http://m.flickr.com/ -- click on the "Photos Taken Nearby" link.

Location aware browsing puts me in a different city and state. Can I manually set my location?

I tried using location aware browsing for several websites, including http://m.goplaysavetriangle.com/nearby_merchants/list
At one point I was able to force a manual location which was correct, but today that is no longer working. I am in Raleigh, NC, and the browser thinks I am in Arlington, VA.
How do I force a manually entered location for this?

Hi windskisong,
You can turn off location aware browsing by going to the configuration settings. Type about:config in your browser window. Find the setting geo.enabled and double click it to set it to “false.”
To give a different location, you could try using the Geolocater extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/geolocater/
Did either of those help with what you need?

How can I turn off Location-aware browsing?

Got notice of upgrade. Downloaded 3.6.15 and installed. On your page describing new features, you prominently mention "Location-aware browsing," as well as the fact that I can turn this spyware off, but after looking through all the "Tools" area, I cannot find a way to turn it off. I am absolutely disgusted that Mozilla has been allowing people to spy on me all these many years I have been using your browsers clear back to Netscape. How can you get away with this without asking my permission? '''NOW TELL ME HOW TO TURN OFF THIS INSIDIOUS PIECE OF *!'''
''Edited for language - TonyE''

People can not spy on you. Firefox only requests a location when a website makes a request, and only shares your location when you has approved the request. Firefox does not track or remember your location as you browse.
It is an opt-in service, to turn disable it do the following:
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''geo.enabled''', double-click on it to change its value to '''false'''
For more details on it see http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/

HT3867 can not get my wifi to work in any other location than my home. How dow I get it to work in other locations?

can not get my wifi to work in any other location than my home. How dow I get it to work in other locations?

What happens at those other locations? Error messages?
Do other devices connect to those other locations?
What kind of networks are they?

In the URL bar, type about:config Type geo.enabled Double click on the geo.enabled preference Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled, does not work How do you turn this Off!

In the URL bar, type about:config
Type geo.enabled
Double click on the geo.enabled preference
Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled
Google will not remove their location aware feature saying it is picked up by the location aware feature in my firefox browser and referred me to your like where I found the above to disable this feature. It just sent me to a yahoo search page. How do you disable this I want to use US Google not Google.ua and you don't need this to help me locate anything in the Ukraine. When I take my laptop with me on trips does my firefox local change wherever I go?

Hey I've been all over and can't get any help. I'm well aware its not an Apple product but its an app for Mac OS so I thought I'd try here. I bought 2 new iMacs yesterday for my parents (5K) and I'm just trying to get them some help as there in their 70's and AOL is all they know.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Can't get Report Builder to work with Apache Webserver

I'm running ColdFusion 7.0.1 and have it configured to work
with Apache. I've got an application named realestate. I created
the following entry in my host file:
127.0.0.1 realestate
In Apache, I've created a virtual server that uses the
realestate server name. But I can't get the Report Builder to
connect to it at all. When I run the wizard, I try to install an
RDS server. I've used 127.0.0.1 for the host name as well as
realestate and I've set the port to 80. I can't get port 8500 to
work at all. I set my ColdFusion root location to fall under
Apache's htdocs. Should I have left it under C:\CFMX7 ? How would I
change the location?

Please review the "stickied" threads near the top of this board, about syncing with Windows 7 and Vista. It's all there.
After you've been through and tried everything there is to try, and still have problems, please post back with specific info about exactly what you've tried, what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), etc.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue. You can leave feedback for Apple at the link below.

How can I get location services to stay on inside?

I have a WiFi iPad 2 w/iOS 8.1. I want to use PayPal Here that requires location services in my nursery. It works fine outdoors but inside our metal buildings with metal roofs the location services do not work (and PayPal Here does not work) even though I am still connected to our WiFi network. PayPal support is no help. How can I get location services to stay on inside the buildings?

I can't get net flix to work on my macbookpro.

You're going to have to give us more info than "I can't get net flix to work."
What have you done to try to get it to work?
Have you installed Silverlight?
Have you activated you Mac with NetFlix?
How are you accessing NetFlix? (Browser, Boxee....)
Exactly what is happening?

Location-aware browsing won't turn off!! Google is tracking me!

I followed the directions to turn off location-aware browsing: about:config geo:enabled double-click to turn off. Yet google is still able to identify my location. I have no google tool bar and I specifically turned off my location share for google in the tools page info menu. Yet they can still identify my browsing location! How do I turn it off!?

There should be a link at the bottom of a local Google site to go to the Google.com website or use http://www.google.com/ncr
You need to create an allow exception to keep cookies for Google to save that setting, otherwise you have to repeat it.

I can't get the volume to work when I use firefox. It does work on internet explorer. What is going on?

I downloaded firefox in order to do some online training that I couldn't open in any other browser. I can't get the volume to work in this browser. I can use internet explorer and the volume works. But I can only do the training through firefox.

You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
Current Firefox versions use the plugin-container process to run plugins, so you need to check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program or the Plugin Container in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
