OK - why would Mozilla want to track the location of users? Or think
that (eventually) users would not say "No" to physically being tracked?
Who *wouldn't* want to be physically tracked? Like certain mobile
providers were geographically tracking some users. That way, if you get
lost, just call your mobile provider's CS & say, "Where am I?"
Or, is it Google saying to Mozilla, "If you want the $ we pay you (for
making Google the default search engine), then we need to be able to
physically track Fx users. So, make it happen."
Or, maybe it's a 3 letter agency telling Mozilla & Google to add ability
in their browsers / searches, to physically track users?
