Whenever I use Firefox on my laptop, the majority of links/adverts are in dutch. I have tried many things and found that on Firefox only, it shows my i.p address as being in the Netherlands. I am in England!! I initially thought it was to do with my internet provider but have since found out that it is ok when i use google chrome.

Any ideas?
