Hello, I am an internet provider in France, and just recently had a /24 of IPs allocated to me from the RIPE NCC, and Firefox's Geo IP is locating all of my addresses in Russia because Firefox's Geo IP database isn't up to date. Could you Update your GEO IP database so that my IPs get located in France? many websites use the location provided by the web browser, and this is causing us many problems, you can imagine that IP addresses located in Russia are blocked by many websites.

Thanks in advance,

Jason

Hi, I don't think we're using our own geo ip database. It's Google Geolocation API.

Please enter about:config in the address bar and check geo.provider.network.url to confirm it.

Thanks for your help. You're right, it looks like it's the Google API. By any chance would you have a contact at Google that could help me? I've been searching but couldn't find any contacts...
