I'm sick and tired of requests from sites for my location. I want a switch to turn it off permanently. It should be under the Privacy Settings. I don't want location based targeted ads. I don't want marketers and data miners to know my location. I don't want that information stored in my browser. Location services are not a convenience. They are an intrusion, and a most unwelcome one.

You can set geo.enabled to false on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Note that if Geolocation isn't used then websites can do a reverse DNS look up of your IP address and that is usually not very accurate. Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.
