But that shouldnt get to Mozilla. My logic and limited understand would argue they just implement the logic to get it. But that sounds like they could poll and access the location.

When you use any piece of Internet-enabled software, any and all data that passes through it can theoretically be copied and siphoned off back to the authors of the software.

Should they do it? No. Can they do it? Yes.

Does Mozilla do it? They say they don't, and I'm inclined to trust them. Do other major browsers do it? Absolutely.

As regards your physical location, geoIP databases can get pretty close these days.

Understood.
Thank you very much :)

As the other commenter says, Mozilla don't log it when it's passed through the browser. Others do

In that case, I am fine with it.
Thanks for clarifying :)
