I visit the UK frequently. When I come home, it's like my browser is stuck in the UK. How do I change my location so my browser stops giving me searches in the UK and things with pounds instead of dollars.

You can check the connection settings.

  • Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
