You may need to clear the cookies from specific sites if those sites think that you are in the wrong location.

Says I am in Houston, tx and my IP address is 70.196.110.201, neither of these are right. Don't see anyway to tell Firefox my location.

Deleted all cookies when firefox closes still thinks my ip address is in Houston

You can contact your ISP and ask them about this. Maybe you can get another IP that locates you more precisely.
