I'm running Windows 10. I have set my default location with Windows Maps.

Firefox ignores it.

Can I force Firefox to ignore ISP responses and use my default location instead?

Hi, websites are still going to guess your location first based on your IP address. Sites can prompt you for precise location, but I don't know whether Firefox can use a location stored in Windows Maps. I tried setting my default location in Windows Maps (to a nearby tacqueria) but Firefox still used my actual location when I gave permission, so I think it still works as described in this article: Does Firefox share my location with websites?
