Geolocation puts me 200 miles to the north of where I actually am. Is there anyway to fix this?

Whenever firefox Geolocation is used (i.e. in facebook places, google maps, etc...) It says I am in a city 200 miles to the north of where I actually am. I didn't notice this happening until 2 years ago when I was planning a trip to this city, looking for restaurants and looking at maps of the area. Ever since then anytime it tries to "find me" It shows me in this city. I was wondering if I had changed a setting, somehow made this my default location, or something that I could change that would explain why Geolocation puts me 200 miles north of where I actually am.

Firefox didn't have "GeoLocation" two years ago, so your "location" is probably being determined by your IP Address instead.

What does this web page say where you are located?

Also, "GeoLocation" uses wireless signals to determine location, so it isn't going to work on a desktop PC that is "hard wire" connected to a phone line, DSL, or Cable.
