I'm an American living in Brazil. When I want to visit an international company's USA website, my browser automatically adds .br (Brazil) after .com to take me to the company's Brazilian website. How do I stop this? Walmart is one (but NOT the only) example. If I type www.walmart.com, I am automatically redirected to www.walmart.com.br. Grrrr ~ so stupidly frustrating!

Nevermind! I resolved this problem with this app: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/zenmate-security-privacy-vpn/ ... and then set the location to the United States.

Hope this helps someone else someday ~
