There's no user-facing UI to disable geolocation in Firefox, but there 
is a preference that can be changed in about:config and there are some 
instructions for how to change that preference in about:rights on some 
Firefox platforms (e.g. Firefox on Android).

If that preference is toggled, we in fact remove the API entirely, so 
that "'geolocation' in navigator" tests false.
