Where can I get a list of GPS's compatible with Firefox 3.5's Location Based Browsing?
Or is there some feature of a GPS that is required for this to work?
Also does it matter which OS Firefox 3.5 is running on?
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at superuser):
Perhaps a better resource: Geolocation in Firefox (by Mozilla)
TLDR: no gps is being used
How does it work....
See this article.
If you consent, Firefox gathers information about nearby wireless location.
