At some websites firefox shows me as located at a wrong zip code. Where does it get this information and how do I change it so it comes up with the correct zip code?

Websites can do a reverse DNS lookup to get your location.

In most cases I do not mind like at online stores that then already know which local store is nearest me or know my zip so they display local prices.

The problem is they are reading it VERY wrong. Is there something I can change on my side so they get it right?
