Browser visits some sites in US locale

more options

I'm not exactly sure what's going on with my browser, but it seems to be visiting Netflix-related websites as if I'm based in the US. I am, however, based in the UK.

For example, heading to either netflix.co.uk or netflix.com just shows me the US catalogue.

Also, whenever I try and visit websites that list what films are listed in each a Netflix region (e.g. http://netflix.maft.uk/catalogue), I get an error screen (see attached screenshot).

However, I can visit other sites like Amazon and it'll correctly detect I'm in the UK.

In the past I had proxy add-ons installed (like Hola!) in order to access other Netflix regions, but I uninstalled all these.

Other browsers all work properly, so this is a Firefox issue.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
