Twitter has its Geolocation feature unchecked by design. Pale Moon is based on Mozilla Firefox and therefore needs the same steps to disable geolocation.
Scroll down until you reach ‘geolocation’. Doubleclick the item and it will change from its default value ‘true’ to ‘false’. Scroll down until you reach ‘geo.enabled’ or you can simply search for ‘geo.enabled’. Under Linux leave the box blank (clear if necessary) and hit ‘OK’. Under Windows type in ‘localhost’ and hit ‘OK’. Rightclick the value of ‘’ and click ‘Modify’. Scroll down until you reach ‘’or you can simply search for ‘’. Doubleclick the item and it will change from its default value ‘True’ to ‘False’. Type ‘about:config’ in the address bar (without the ‘’). Internet Explorer does not have a geolocation feature (yet). Goto the ‘Adjust Toolbar options’ icon (the little blue wrench on the right of the toolbar). Check ‘Never show an alert for unusual activity’. Scroll down on your GMail page until your reach ‘Last account activity: 0 minutes ago on this IP (xx). It warns you if another user has logged into your account and from where.

Disable ‘Friends can check me in to places’. Facebook (initially just for the iPhone client): 
Check ‘Do not allow any site to track my physical location’. Goto the ‘Customize and control Comodo Dragon’ icon (the little grey wrench on the top right). Uncheck ‘Allow websites to ask for location information’. Goto the ‘Display a menu of Genenal Safari settings’(the little cogwheel on the right of the toolbar). This procedure won’t work in Internet Explorer because that browser doesn’t (yet) have geolocation. If it doesn’t, then disabling the geolocation feature has worked. If Google Maps roughly finds where you live, then you might consider disabling that feature. Clicking that button will have Google Maps trying to pinpoint your location. Then click on the white circular button above the ‘scale’ feature on the left. You can check if the geolocation feature works in your browser by simply visiting Google Maps via an affected browser (see next post).
