Check you computers settings. Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region After, check the settings on Face Book and other web sites.

Websites typically "geolocate" their users based on the location of their internet service provider.

You can opt in to providing more information, but actually, since desktop computers do not have GPS, and often do not have wi-fi running (Google tracks of the locations of wi-fi routers), I don't know how that works.

Here is some more information on geolocation in Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/geolocation/

How is your location reported?
