Whenever I try to go to the USA version of USA Today, I am redirected to the EU USAT homepage. How do I stop Firefox allowing this geographical redirect to happen?

What url are you using? Screenshot of the issue? Did you verify your Addon or VPN or Proxy isn't blocking cookie tracking as if that blocked or incorrect you will not get the right location.

I can't really screenshot the issue as it's just a webpage. I use the .com link and it takes me to https://eu.usatoday.com/ I don't want the EU homepage, I want information only available on the USA site. No other site does this. It's only been USA Today, but I've tried it on different machines/browsers and the same thing happens.

Then this means your VPN or Proxy or ISP isn't located in the US to get the correct link site. As you just mentioned different machines/browsers would mean your VPN/Proxy/ISP something is wrong. You can screenshot the site so others can verify what they get matches what you get.
