Firefox has my bad location - how to fix this?
Firefox thinks I am located in Poland (I'm actually in the United Kingdom) and share this information with other sites, so all the ads I see for example. on Youtube are in Polish, and when I type a search in the search bar, I'm redirected to google.pl. This has happened for a few days now, but I've been using Firefox on this computer for years.
I just checked and my address location host IP is in the United Kingdom.
I have not consulted all Polish sites, and even if I had I clear Cookies first thing whenever I connect to the computer, and that did not solve the problem.
I do not have any proxy or VPN installed.
My language is defined as English (United Kingdom) in Firefox and Google communities.
I tried clicking "update location" in Google, but it is really sure that I am in Warsaw.
I know it sounds trivial, but it is so boring! I wonder how a) to fix and b) is this a sign of a more serious problem?

on my key board when I try to type a letter that has a number or a symble on it it type the number or the symble how to fix this?
Make a lot of assumptions here...
Keyboards only I know who have numbers/symbols on the letter keys would be a laptop or netbook without a numeric keypad. Assuming that this is the case, the most likely cause is that you have the 'digital Locks' active. To return to a regular keyboard, you must disable the NumLocks. On a laptop, how to do varies from a Builder (in other words, if that doesn't work, download or consult the manual of your computer)... but usually this is done by pressing the "FN" key at the bottom of the keyboard while pressing the 'Num Lock' key, which is usually on the box at the top right of the keyboard.
