Seems like every time I surf the Web, Firefox drops something like, “Share your location?” in some message box on top of my screen. I get it; it’s handy for local pizza delivery and such, but it is just a pain in the ass when I am looking at a location in London or a location in Denver. It’s just out of interest that I’m looking at those maps; I’m not looking for pizza joints that can deliver within 30 minutes..

Is there any way to stop Firefox from asking me for my location every time I’m looking at a location that is different from the one my IP address resolves to?
