Firefox redirects to Indonesian site when trying to enter Aliexpress Global site

I've had an odd problem last few days. When I go to www.aliexpress.com it at once redirects to id.aliexpress.com and can't be changed. The same problem occurs in safemode too. I have removed all the history having aliexpress adress but no use. No viruses nor Malwares founded. And yes, other browsers, like Chrome, work just fine without any redirections. Note: I have much addons and have tweakied the Firefox so much that I really don't want to restore it!

I'm trying to upload an image (png) but it's just loading and loading, so I'm not sure if it is going thru.

Hi. No, I'm located in Finland. I changed the location from Indonesia to Germany (id.aliexpress.com -> de.aliexpress.com) and then it wanted to stay in Germany all the time.

I opened the cookies and deleted everything under aliexpress.com, and success! Thank you very much for fast response.
