Is there a way for it not to guess my position? I happen to have a desktop computer that´s very hard to move.

How do I turn off Location-Aware Browsing permanently?

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

To select on a site-by-site basis: select Tools>Page info>Permissions.

I think he meant, how do you tell your browser exactly where you are.
