I'm one of the Firefox developers working on the geolocation code. Comment 5 is correct; the Ubuntu releases of Firefox need a key provided by Google in order to access the service. Note that this also impacts safebrowsing requests. The key can be added to the build with the configure flag --with-google-api-keyfile=file.
