Firefox address bar does not work correctly

Hello, I'm in Italy on a Windows 7 pc (no proxy). When I use the address bar to perform a search on Firefox, I'm directed to google.com instead of google.it and this shows the results of foreign sites. For example, if I write "Amazon" in the Firefox address bar, I see the results of Amazon.com and not Amazon.it. Or if I write "pizza" I get out the international results and not those in Italian. Is there a way to correct this problem? If it does not exist, unfortunately I have to switch to Chrome which works well even when working on the address bar. In the link below the screenshots of the pages opened on Firefox and on Chrome: https://imgur.com/a/o9tVNzA

Hello, Try to clear cache and history with forget button or try to restart Firefox in Safe Mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Or if you are comfortable with command line Press Windows key+R and in the Open box paste firefox.exe -safe-mode

Another idea In the past you have activated an add-on like this? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-com-googlecom-in-englis/?src=search This simply add another option for search engines Go to the Menu > Option > Search> and in One click Search Engine click restore Default Search Engines. Verify your extensions It's possible that one of them be responsible for this redirection... Hope this help
