I have always had my homepage set as aol.com. Being in the UK means AOL always want to refer me to aol.co.uk which I don't want. I have aol.com set has as 'allow' in cookies and this always worked till now. No matter what I do (other than using a US based proxy) I keep getting refferred back to the UK site. Has something changed in Firefox (I have version 3.6.12) or are AOL being too sneaky.

Did you try to clear the cookies from both AOL sites?

I have Firefox set to delete cookies when closed. I have set aol.com as an exception (allow) but not aol.co.uk, so should I set UK as blocked? I'm wondering if it is simply down to aol identifying my IP address as UK based and thats it.
