When I open Firefox, the wrong town name is always there with temperature. Can't Firefox remember my town name? I'm getting a little upset that so simple a problem can't be fixed automatically. Sincerely Bob

Websites often use your IP address to guess your city which is not very accurate. If you manually specify your city you will need to make sure you don't clear cookies for the site if you want it to be remembered. If the site asks for geolocation permission and you grant it, you will need to make sure you don't clear "Site settings" along with history.
