I live in the United States in my Systems Account. When I try to log into my Yahoo account the title on the page show "Yahoo Netherlands". When I try to log onto Netflix, I cannot stream items because I do not live within the 50 American states, or American possessions.

You can check your location via sites like this:

If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo! home page is in the wrong language then see:

Check the connection settings to see if you use a proxy.

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":
