Periodically, when I want to search for a local business or organization, Firefox automatically defaults to a city in another state instead of the city where I reside. Also, local news and weather is listed for that city instead of my town. How to I correct this issue and should I be concerned?

Sounds that you have an IP that locates you in a different city.
