The Geolocation feature in Firefox 3.5 can be removed in 3 steps:
1) Open Firefox 3.5, type "about:config" in the location bar, and search for "geo.enabled". Double click to set this preference to "false".
2) In places menu -> search for files, search for a file named "NetworkGeolocationProvider.js" somewhere in the directory /usr/lib/
3) Once you've found the file, go to the terminal and run: "gksu nautilus". Press Ctrl+L and go to the directory the file is in. Now right click, rename file and change the file name (add "." or something at the start of the file name). This should disable this component.
