How can I set firefox so that my location has no influance on search results ? Now I get websites presented in a language I do not manage.
Search results must be Location independent. Search results to be equal whether accessed in Spain, Norway or Belgium .

Hi
Whilst there are tools in Firefox to protect your freedom to browse the web, to be completely independent of any location tracking you will need to investigate the use of a VPN (Virtual Private Network).
This is beyond the remit of this forum, but a Linux forum should be able to help you set this up.
There used to be a specialized search engine for Google search that included /ncr (No Country Redirection) in front of the search string that is sent to Google, but that quit working over two years ago.
I am not seeing any information from a search for ncr any later than Dec 2015, so I don't have an answer about what would work today.
The only thing I can suggest is trying some of the ncr search engines from the Mycroft website. That is an old Mozilla project that was moved to an independent domain with separate hosting about 5 years ago when Mozilla did a reorganization of MozDev. http://mycroftproject.com/search-engines.html?name=google+ncr
