I work in California. Our corporate offices are in Oklahoma and my desktop computer is set up with an IPS address in OK. When I try to go to the CA website for AAA, Firefox redirects me to the OK website for AAA. How do I stop from being redirected to OK sites when trying to open CA sites?

hello eajames, sites can show you content and redirect you based on your IP address which will reveal your approximate location - there is not much a browser can do against this... http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/network-location/
