Hello, I can confirm this is still a problem on Iceweasel 35.

Switching to Mozilla's Location Services seems the best way forward.
They currently do not require a valid API key
(https://location.services.mozilla.com/v1/geolocate?key=test does work,
though the Debian Mozilla team could reach them to see if there's a
requirement for using their services on a large scale). The coverage is
very decent https://location.services.mozilla.com/map and is getting
better thanks to user contributions. The published data is also under a
Creative Commons license
(https://wiki.mozilla.org/CloudServices/Location/FAQ) which I believe is
DFSG-compliant.

The base documentation for the Mozilla Location Service can be found at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Location

I hope Debian switches to MLS for privacy and openness reasons.

Thanks for your work
