Google may have set a location cookie on IE and Firefox that is not getting updated. So my first suggestion is: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server. Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now" If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes. (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site: * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies" Then try returning to https://www.google.com/ and let Google re-detect your location. Does that help? ---- You also could try the "no country redirect" override address: http://www.google.com/ncr
