How can I turn off geo-locator? I have done the fix that I found but it doesn't work - what else can I do?

I have done this and turned it to false (hope that's right) • In the URL bar, type about:config • Type geo.enabled • Double click on the geo.enabled preference • Location-Aware Browsing is now disabled

But google is still putting me at a location unsuitable for my browsing requirements. I want to browse .co.uk not .fr. for business as well as personal. Please help it is very time consuming even when I type .co.uk google changes it back to .fr

Any help gratefully received. Thank you.

Google uses your network address to guess your country. There isn't an easy way to hide this from Google. If you are signed in to a Google Account, you can use the email address settings (for some reason) to tell them which country you are in; I'm not sure if this will help you get to the correct Google search site.

"Location-Aware Browsing" is only useful if you connect via a wireless access point.
Otherwise a reverse DNS look up of your IP is used and that is usually not very accurate.
Firefox will always ask for permission before using Geolocation.
