I'd like to know, how I can manually specify a location using known GPS co-ordinates?

I see that by default Firefox performs geo-location through Google. If I am building & testing a new web application that specifically uses GPS, how can I configure Firefox to reply with a given set of GPS co-ordinates? I would prefer not to have to do my development work on my already overtaxed cell phone. I would absolutely find a plug-in quite suitable for this purpose, however a search of the Mozilla Plug-In Database has only come up with add-ons to strip GPS co-ordinates from photos or themes.

That would only be through 3rd party software that would provide GPS support. Such a program wouldn't be free and would cost money.
