Three examples of bad results from the location button.

1: I've run MozScanner many times at my office--I scan driving to the parking 
lot and then walking into the building. Recently pressed the find location 
button inside my office (where my phone can't reach GPS). The service couldn't 
find my location. Shouldn't it have been able to recognize some of the wifi 
networks in the building and use the GPS position from outside?

2: I just pressed the location button at my well-scanned home, and the location 
shown was over half a mile away. (If the location is intentionally vague 
instead of precise the icon should be changed as the finger point implies 
precision.)

3: After pressing the location button I noticed I was scanning. To test whether 
asking for location turns on the scanner (it does) I tried asking for location 
again. This time the location was in the next town over. It might possibly be a 
location based on my IP address, but since I've scanned my home with GPS and 
wifi signals many times why can't if find the correct location?
