How do I prevent location-based redirects?

I use a VPN. When I type go to a .com site, half the time I get redirected to its European counterpart. For example, going to google.com lands me at google.nl. I figured this was based on geolocation, so I toggled "geo.enabled" to false, but no change. Is there some other way to prevent these redirects?

I thought this question looked familiar:

https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/59bfbc/geolocation_and_redirects/

Sites primarily rely on your reported IP address (the address of the current VPN exit node) to geolocate you. You can't fake that. Can you configure your VPN to use a U.S. exit node?

Firefox has an accessibility feature to stop certain kinds of redirects. It was designed to aid users of screen reader to avoid losing context, and not as a way to defeat customization of websites. It can have odd side effects of stranding you on a blank page or breaking off-site payment flow. But if you want to try it, see:
