Firefox somehow has my geographic location in a different state than where I reside. How do you change the geographic location?

That is done outside of your computer at the website (with a service they use), using either geolocation data for a wi-fi connection or your IP address for a wired connection.

What does this web page say about your location?

I went to the page and it is showing the correct location in South Carolina where I live. But in all searches it will bring up stores and locations in North Carolina.
