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?
