Which article? The one at How-To-Geek (main posting) or the one in #1 at the “clicky” link referencing OSX? I was looking at the one at the clicky link.
I don’t have 3.5 yet, but updates are inevitable. I don’t know how to comment out things though.

It deals with Firefox, not OSX.
If you are running Firefox 3.5 on a Mac use the instructions.
Don’t know if other versions have the geo ‘feature’ but from the article I suspect no.
