Bug Description

On up to date Saucy Beta the amazon webapp always goes to amazon.com rather than amazon.co.uk
When I run
unity-webapps-runner --amazon --app-id=ubuntu-amazon-default
I see
** (unity-webapps-runner:4259): WARNING **: Could not get a proper accuracy from Geoclue (NONE)
which I guess may be the problem.
