On desktop/linux/firefox/private window and vpn, how can Google know which Wi-Fi network I'm connected to?

HTML5 geolocation if you ever click allow even one time can granularly identify location based on where you are. It sends nearby MAC and correlates this to wardriving-equivalent scans. You do not need to be connected to wifi.
