geolocation blocking via RFP will be removed (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1441295), and since either way you look at it (those who use RFP or not) the user.js blocks geo, so we might as well move this stuff back to section 0200

user.js

A user.js is a configuration file that can control hundreds of Firefox settings. For a more technical breakdown and explanation, you can read more on the overview wiki page.

ghacks user.js

The ghacks user.js is a template, which, as provided, aims to provide as much privacy and enhanced security as possible, and to reduce tracking and fingerprinting as much as possible - while minimizing any loss of functionality and breakage (but it will happen).

Everyone, experts included, should at least read the implementation wiki page, as it contains important information regarding a few ghacks user.js settings.
