How do I turn off Location-Aware Browsing permanently? (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/geolocation/#)

Location-Aware Browsing is always opt-in in Firefox 3.5. No location information is ever sent without your permission. If you wish to disable the feature completely, please follow this set of steps:


In the URL bar, type about:config
Type geo.enabled
Double click on the geo.enabled preference
Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled

Got it at default atm, but I am going to change that as soon as I get back to my own computer.

No, because I'm not in Glasgow.

This appears to be set in cookies, because after I set to false, I next went to Google and Google still showed the same geo as before I set to false. Yet another reason for disabling cookies completely.
