Quite. I guess you could try and finish my aborted attempts at adding
Geoclue support to Firefox:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485472

As they mention, it might be more flexible to use the geoclue D-Bus API,
but I gave up due to the compilation time on my machine. Testing changes
is like pulling teeth.

Cheers
