Somehow, the Firefox browser on one of my computers thinks I am in a foreign country. All I could find on the setting page is Firefox looks at my IP address to determine my location. But all the other computers using the same internet router give my correct location. Furthermore, this started within the last month. Some sites like Tubi say their service is not available in my location, I do not have this problem on other computers I use at the same location. How do I fix this? Thanks

There are a number of sites that provide information on the results of an IP address lookup. You might already have found one but just in case:

https://nordvpn.com/what-is-my-ip/

(Obviously they promote their VPN product, but please ignore that for now.)

Does it show the expected location? If not, are you browsing through a VPN or proxy that might be routing your web requests differently than your other computers?
