See "Connection settings": Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can

You can find the connection setting here: Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy --- Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

Same issue with Bestbuy.com starting in English and then switching to Turkish but here's the interesting part. I have 2 dsl services currently running (I'm transitioning from one provider to another) This switch to Turkish only occurs with the Verizon connection, with Covad, no issue at all. My only guess is that the Bestbuy website is guessing your location based on the IP and their table is incorrect. Any other suggestions?
