geoclue

New Linux only prefs:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1063572

pref("geo.provider.geoclue.always_high_accuracy", true);
pref("geo.provider.use_geoclue", true);

# Whether to use Geoclue location provider (if available on the system).
- name: geo.provider.use_geoclue
  type: bool
  value: true
  mirror: always

# Whether to always provide high location accuracy, even if site
# doesn't actually request this level of accuracy.
# Almost no site correctly requests high accuracy so force it by default
# for compatibility with other geolocation providers.
- name: geo.provider.geoclue.always_high_accuracy
  type: bool

geo.provider.use_geoclue=false is worth considering for 0202 IMO.

Does this also preclude using geoclue?

I don’t think so after having a quick look at the patch (notice the comment on priority and the different ifdef MOZ_ clauses).

also, from 1769664:

This provider will actually only be considered if Geoclue is available on D-Bus. Then it is preferred over particular single location sources (like GPSD)

ever worked at all

who knows. not worth following it IMO - if they fix it then we’re covered, if they don’t then we’re covered
