New description:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1109120 implemented GeoIP-
based search defaults including contacting
https://location.services.mozilla.com. Moreover, on OS X and Windows OS
APIs are used to get that information:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102295
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1102297
We should investigate possible information leaks and I guess ways to
disable/neuter this feature as we ship Disconnect.me with en-US as
default.
