Somehow, the Firefox browser on one of my computers thinks I am in a foreign country. All I could find on the setting page is Firefox looks at my IP address to determine my location. But all the other computers using the same internet router give my correct location. Furthermore, this started within the last month. Some sites like Tubi say their service is not available in my location, I do not have this problem on other computers I use at the same location. How do I fix this? Thanks

Using Firefox (current version), when I enter a search including '....near me' into Google Maps OR Bing Maps - I get a map far, far away from my location. Using Chrome, the same query returns a correct location My Windows 11 default location is correct. This began a few days ago

When I signed in after my update, the "Let's make sure this was you" email I received shows my approximate location as Columbus, Ohio. This is incorrect. I am in Huntsville, Alabama. Why is this info wrong, and how can I correct it?

Mozilla changed my location to portugal. All i see are ads in portuguese and it is annoying. I don't have a vpn on, doesn't matter how many times i change it back, it keeps showing me portuguese. How do i change it back?

Hello,

I’ve noticed that Firefox is inaccurately reporting my geolocation. I am connected through a VPN/Web3 setup that correctly places my location in Canada by a direct-routing for special sites domen address. Other browsers, such as Yandex Browser, reflect this correctly. However, Firefox seems to ignore this and reports my location as being in Russia.

I tested this side-by-side using the same website (Gemini), and the result was consistently different across browsers — Firefox being the only one that misrepresents my location.

This is concerning, especially from a privacy standpoint. It seems Firefox is using a different method to determine geolocation.

Could you please clarify how Firefox determines geolocation, and whether it’s possible to change or disable this behavior? I believe users should have full control over what location data is shared and ensure that the browser respects the actual network setup in use.

Importantly, blocking geolocation access for the site in Firefox’s settings does not solve the issue — the site still receives the incorrect (Russian) location, likely based on IP or some internal Firefox service. This suggests Firefox is using an alternative method to determine and transmit location data, possibly ignoring the active VPN setup or relying on cached/default IP-based data

Thank you.

Do not have "Block new requests asking to access your location" checked in settings. I have deleted cookies from hulu.com and restarted firefox. Still nothing. Hulu can't help. Location works in Chrome and Edge but I refuse to use those.

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

Whenever I look up something near me, it always comes up from a location near me. For instance, I am looking for a doctor near me (Gibbon, MN), but it shows locations around Morgan, MN. How do I change the settings physically on Firefox?

I have had trouble for months logging in to Ticketmaster and Office Depot Canada. Now, I can't use Firefox to access Crave, which tells me that my "IP address is outside of North America." I am not using a VPN, so I don't know why Crave thinks that.

Help?

I am on Canada. I am using a Lenovo Laptop with WIN 10 (22H2) and Firefox 138.04 64bit. When connected to a local streaming service I am refused service because I show as being out of the country. When I load Microsoft Edge and connect I am suddenly back in Canada. The steaming service does not have an answer. Any clues as to why this occurs?
