Google redirects me to google.ru and YouTube shows Russia as my location. I'm not in or near Russia, GeoIP databases I've checked show the correct country.

This only happens on Firefox and not on Chrome. I tried clearing all *.google.com cookies but no luck.

Should I worried that some malicious software has altered my copy of Firefox?

I don't see any plugins or addons that I don't recognize...

Okay, I guess this is a Google problem. Those idiots have made perplexing number of bad decisions and mistakes since Larry Page became CEO.

Now to find where I can report incorrect Google GeoIP inaccuracies.

Forgot to mention this started happening recently, possibly when I last updated Firefox... is this a bug with an update?

Also, I'm using FF 28.0
