permissions.default.geo 0 and 1 and 2
In about:config I have set "geo.enabled" to false. -> www.google.com still displays the content in my language, darn.
I went went back to about:config and marked "only show modified preferences" -> to my surprise not only "geo.enabled 1" was displayed but also "permissions.default.geo 2" (though I never touched that one - so I thought they must be linked somehow)
I was curious and reverted "permissions.default.geo" back to default -> now it is set to "0" -> but "geo.enable" is still on "false" (so I am not sure anymore if they are really linked together - which doesnt make sense to me)
Now I don't know if I should leave "permissions.default.geo" on "2" how I found it, or on "0" which is the default. That's why I come here to ask:
==> What are the three states of "permissions.default.geo [0/1/2]" doing and how is it interacting with "geo.enable"?

BTW: one of the reasons I wanted to disable my IP was that I tried to change the google doodle. So I logged out google. but doesnt matter which VPN country I choose and what I did in about:config and what Firefox language I choose -> the doodle doesn't change, it is always in my language, not in the VPN IP's language or in the Firefox's language.

The permissions.default.x preferences are the default site permission before you grant or deny a specific site. On the Settings page, if you go to Privacy, Location, and click the Settings button, you'll find a checkbox labeled "Block new requests asking to access your location" which has this effect:
- [ ] not checked => Sites can trigger a permission request => 0
- [x] checked => Sites cannot trigger a permission request => 2 -- you can still grant a site permission manually using the Page Info dialog (Ctrl+i, or on Mac, Command+i)
I think a value of 1 means you have granted permission for all sites by default, without an individual request, so that's normally NOT what you want.
geo.enabled controls whether Firefox will perform geolocation for a site even if you granted permission.
None of this is related to your IP address, it only controls precise location based either on GPS or your local Wi-Fi hotpots. If you want to use a different IP address, you generally need to use a VPN.
It's also possible Google determines your preferred language based on either:
- Language header -- see: Choose display languages for multilingual web pages
- Cookies or local storage from a previous visit -- try a private window after switching your IP and language
