Firefox's geo.wifi.url's https://www.google.com/loc/json not used?

问题

I used a network sniffer and examined all the requests going out from Firefox when going to http://html5demos.com/geo. According to my Firefox, the geolocation service according to geo.wifi.uri entry is https://www.google.com/loc/json. However I don't see this url in any of the requests.

What am I missing?

I see it in LiveHTTPHeaders:

If your wifi interface is enabled, Firefox sends to Google all the wifi signal strength around you in order to locate you (signals strength,mac addresses and locations of all private and public hotspots were captured by Google with their Street View's cars I guess).
Here is the full POST request captured with TcpCatcher (and its SSL mode)
