Location aware browsing puts me in a different city and state. Can I manually set my location?

I tried using location aware browsing for several websites, including http://m.goplaysavetriangle.com/nearby_merchants/list At one point I was able to force a manual location which was correct, but today that is no longer working. I am in Raleigh, NC, and the browser thinks I am in Arlington, VA. How do I force a manually entered location for this?

Hi windskisong,

You can turn off location aware browsing by going to the configuration settings. Type about:config in your browser window. Find the setting geo.enabled and double click it to set it to “false.”

To give a different location, you could try using the Geolocater extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/geolocater/

Did either of those help with what you need?
