As you can see Firefox will use more information than your ip address to find your location: "information about the nearby wireless access points"
The webserver does not have that. In case you have no wireless access points detected Firefox indeed only has the ip.
Does Firefox have any information like that? It seems unlikely. There is probably one or two wifi APs in the vicinity, but even if the machine used one, how would Firefox know about it? Just being curious.
It has access to the wifi information since it interfaces with libiw. Since this transfers information from your local machine Firefox asks you for permission. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
