When I sign onto a certain app, it says I sign on from West, New York. I am in North Carolina, so I am wondering if my browser that I’m using which is Firefox, is routed back to like a headquarters in New York where it would show that I signed on from New York? Is that ever possible?

Thank you, Stefanie Norris

Hi. Mozilla has been my preferred browser since it first came out and up to 3 days ago my use of it has been awesome. But 3 days ago my location started showing as if I lived in Miami instead of Oakland where I actually live. The "problem" is every time I do a search it gives me responses as if I lived in Miami... and i don't.

At the bottom of the page, it says the responses are due to my IP address, so I contacted my internet provider (Comcast) and they tell me my IP address is identified as Oakland, and told me to look else where.

So I am now looking to you. Do you have any thoughts on what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help you might offer. Be well, Joseph
