Fake your geolocation in Firefox 3.5
There are many reasons why you would want to fake your location in firefox. One good reason would be “un-faking” your location on computers with no wlan cards, e.g. at work, or where there’s no data available for the WLANs around you. All you need for faking is a text file (eg. /home/username/.mynewlocation.txt) somewhere on your computer with the following content:
{"location":{"latitude":50.941863,"longitude":6.958374, "accuracy":20.0}}
The path in Firefox to this file is: file://home/username/.mynewlocation.txt Type about:config in your location bar, confirm the warning, search for geo.wifi.url, and replace the old url (https://www.google.com/loc/json) with your new one from above. Restart firefox, enjoy your new location :-)
Explanation:latitude/longitude => the location you want to have, go to google maps, select location, click on “Link” and use the values from the ll= parameteraccuracy => the accuracy you want to announce, in meters.
