Hello,

when I visit https://stock3.com/ (this site is in German), than I get on the right side under "Märkte" the wrong time. The time ist two hours in the past. How can I correct this?

Thank you in advance and kind regards Thomas

I am doing a survey using KoboToolBox and uploading from android devices on the locations I am doing my survey. After 24 Hours when I checked the Map Interface in Kobo, I realised that some GPS coordinates were placed in locations far away from the actual locations where the data was uploaded. What could be the possible reasons for this?

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?

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.

I have recently checked my sign in record on Ebay and noticed that my location has always been my home town until Firefox installed version 138.0, at which time it changed to Merton, London. Is this normal?
