Weather on New Tab Page Shows Wrong Location
My new tab page shows a weather forecast, but it's for Kansas City instead of where I live.
How do I change the forecast to show my current location?

"Change location" might be disabled/hidden in the three-dot Weather menu, you may need to enable this via about:config.
- about:config => browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.weather.locationSearchEnabled => true

That solution worked, but it raises another question:
Why was that feature disabled in the first place? I certainly didn't disable it–I didn't even know it existed.
I had to re-install firefox and this new widget showed up. I like it :) I also did not have "change location" which I found reference to while searching this issue but I do now. Yes, why was it disabled in first place?
