By the way this is known as 'Location-Aware Browsing'. I can think of two things that you could do here. The first one might work if you speak Swedish:

1. Go to: Firefox > Options > Content

2. You will see at the bottom of the window it says: 'Choose your preferred language for displaying pages'. Click the button beside it that says: 'Choose...'

3. At the bottom of the box there is a drop-down menu labeled: 'Select a language to add...'

4. Select a Swedish option from the menu and click 'Add'

5. You could also select all the other languages that you don't want and remove them

6. Click 'OK'

OR you can switch of Location-Aware Browsing altogether if you wish:

1. Type in: 'about:config' into the address bar

2. In the 'Filter:' box type 'geo.enabled'

3. Double-click the user preference that comes up

4. It should now all appear in bold and under 'Value' say 'false'
