Good afternoon!

I'm working on a project at my University called "location-based services" and i'm searching for informations about location service of Firefox. I'm searching for how does it locates the computers, mobiles, or tablets geographical location. I'm interesting in the method, how it works. It's really important to me, please help me.

Thanks, Peter.
