Depends where you are, but its not really related to firefox (except in a peripheral fashion)

As usual a good idea is to google it.

but a couple of good lifehacker guides are: http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/01/hola-lets-you-watch-region-blocked-videos-from-any-country-for-free/

and

i personally use a VPN for stuff like this. theres a fair bit of info on the web about the best for your individual country and your intended use.

Issues have been previously linked to the McAfee Site Advisor extension. Try to disable it and see if the problem persists.

To disable it: Type "about:addons" in the Location bar Find the extension and click on its "Disable" button

You will have to find an on line proxy server.
