before the recent Mozilla Firefox update my Goggle news feed home page displayed local news. When i di a search for local businesses I always got sites from the Southwest Ohio area. Now i am defaulted to Evansville Indiana and nothing i do makes any difference. I manually change the location and it works until i close the browser or whenever the history is cleared. I like having history clear automaticly when i close Firefox. This was never a problem before update. I tried restoring previous version but it didn't make any difference. Any suggestions?
