When I am on yahoo, and ask a question, example, where to get my oil changed. It gives me Russelville, Ark addresses. On my weather, it gives me the same. Yahoo says I need to change my address on my ISP, which is Mozilla. How do I do that?

Mozilla is not your ISP. Firefox is a web browser.

I followed your instructions and went to the Geolocation page, found there were 5 locations, 2 in Russellville, Arkansas, one in Conroe, Texas, one in Montgomery, Texas (I think), and the 5th was blank. I live in Montgomery, Texas, so that's great. Can I delete the other Geolocation places?

I didn't even mention Geolocation, I asked about what the IP Address page said about your location - look at the map.

Geolocation only applies to a wireless connection.
Are you using a wireless connection? If so, is it your own wi-fi connection or are you using someone elses wi-fi?
