Firefox is blocking my Google.com access
Running Firefox version 3.6.3, and this browser is blocking my accessing Google.com. AOL/Yahoo and Msn.com I can log on to, but every time I try to go to Google.com I get Google.co.uk very annoying, and it is limiting my web searches.
URL of affected sites

What's the exact URL of the page you are being taken to?

Google detects which country you are in, then redirects you to the domain for that country. (Not a Firefox thing. :-) )
There should be a link on Google.co.uk that says "Go to Google.com". Click on that.
Sorry No link to Google.com, just a plain old basic page, there is an advance search option, but one should be able to switch between the world web and one's home country very easily. Was able to a few weeks ago???????????

The exact URL I am being directed to is google.co.uk. It is happening with HTTP. when I use HTTPS the google.com site works fine.
If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:
