All google searches are being redirected to and run through google.co.in
I am in IT and am attempting to support a customer using Firefox. All of his Google Searches in Firefox are redirected to google.co.in and he is also exposed to a number of google-sourced ads specific to India, even though the customer is in New Jersey, in the US and has not been to India. I could not see any tab in Firefox that would hold location specific settings. The customer is running Windows 7.

The customer can try these steps:
Check the reported location:

"Clear the Cache":

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.
