Firefox location is wrong but Windows and Chrome have it right
When I do a search in Firefox, like "Find auto parts near me" it finds auto parts in Kissimmee, FL were I was last winter rather than where I've been since March. My location and default location in Windows correctly shows my address in Hot Springs,NC, as does the Chrome browser, so this is unique to Firefox. I have cleared cache, checked location settings in Firefox, etc. Some comment Firefox may get the address from my IP, but my IP says its in Marshall, NC where my ISP is. I prefer to use Firefox over Chrome, but its useless to search "near me" in Firefox since it doesn't know where I am.
