When I try to access nytimes.com Firefox (but not Chrome or Opera) redirects to global.nytimes.com. Home button (nytimes.com) goes to international.nytimes.com.
When I type a URL starting with g, Firefox brings up http://global.nytimes.com/ often as first item although I have told firefox to forget that address. The home button is set to nytimes.com but it usually brings me international.nytimes.com.
I have disabled geo-location in about:config. I have also set Firefox to inform me about redirects, but it does not do that. I've tried several extensions that do not work either.
I don't doubt that the NY Times redirects non-USA traffic to its international edition, but it NEVER happens with Chrome or Opera.

It might be an old cookie. Continue to block the location through the page permissions, by see if this happens in a private window.
To clear the cache of an individual site, remove bookmarks or saved homepage and save the page once more after going to about:permissions and "Forget This Site".
You have a Redirect Bypasser extension listed in the System Details list.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
