Public bug reported:

The geolocation feature does not work any more on Firefox (at least on
Ubuntu 12.04.3)

Try to open for example http://html5demos.com/geo , accept geolocation
when prompted by Firefox : it should quickly show your location on the
map, but it never does.

I'm using latest Firefox package from Ubuntu 12.04.3
(25.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) on Ubuntu 12.04.3 (amd64) with latest
updates

I have this same behavior on 2 different computers : one with a Wifi
card, another one without.

If I download Firefox 25.0.1 from www.firefox.com and launch it, geolocation works.
So I suspect the issue to be related to the ubuntu package
