It enables Necko WiFi (and depends on wireless-tools). What does that mean specifically? I don't know, but perhaps it is related to this: "Introduced in Gecko 1.9.1: Code with UniversalXPConnect privileges can monitor the list of available WiFi access points to obtain information about them including their SSID, MAC address, and signal strength. This capability was introduced primarily to allow WiFi-based location services to be used by geolocation services."
