Firefox show's my location when 'Googling'

In 'about:config' I have my geo set to disable, I tried it enabled and turning it back, also in 'Settings' Location shows empty and I can not get it to see Google nor can I manually insert it.

Any idea what is going on please??

Dave.

Google doesn't use geolocation API. They just know your IP.

Dunno where my post is, mustn't have posted or pressed wrong button, so here goes again..

Thanks for the reply, pretty sure it did stop it showng with the settings I used in settings. You kinda woke me up here, guess it's only me who can see it, or anyone using my 'pewter'.... I got Ublock to stop it.

The only sure way is to get a VPN, I never did think of trying FF in 'private mode'.

Thank you for the time, I've marked it solved. Dave
