Sync hack?

Firefox Sync data
Elizabeth Ulmer replied

I set up Firefox sync two days ago. Opened my Iphone today & it went to sync screen and asked to sync with my Mac laptop computer. I proceeded, assuming it was part of set up, although I had done that step two day ago. After my phone read the QR code, my computer screen refreshed and said, essentially, "you are now syncing with Oxnard, Kalifornia" etc. I am located in the Oxnard area, but was alarmed at the misspelling of California with a "K". Is this a hack and should I remove sync? Typo? Anyone else have this issue? Would greatly appreciate any advice you have - thanks!

It's not a hack, there is nothing to worry about. This might be a bug in the location provider (BTW Kalifornien is California in German, though I have no idea why would it print it in German).
