How do I change the location the FireFox provides to websites?
I live inMargaretville NY Wunderground.com gives me weather for Andes NY. I get ads for Insurance for people in Andes NY Home Depot and Lowes both assign me a store closer to Andes than Margaretville. The only common link between these sites is FireFox.

Websites usually "geolocate" you based on your computer IP address, which usually is assigned by your service provider. These are some sites that show the location associated with your current IP address:
If those do not match your ISP, there are some ways that your IP address might vary from that assigned by your service provider, if you use a Private VPN, Tor, or a service like Hola to route your connection through someone else's network or computer.
Often sites give better results if you give them your zip code, which then may be stored in a cookie for future visits, but not all sites want to wait and ask for information before guessing your location.
