I live in Minnesota USA but according to many sites I contact I am listed as being from a foreign country. Here is one of the ADS...I get multiples daily. Advertisement: (Venha buscar o seu Jeep Renegade.) Oft times I cannot order things because the co. doesn't mail to "my country" or many articles I can't read also because of "my country address" . How do I correct this? THANK YOU for your time.

Are you possibly using a VPN or proxy?

You can check the connection settings.

  • Options/Preferences -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
