Gives my location wrong
With Firefox I use a cox.net home page which give the location and weather in Phoenix, AZ. I live in Green Valley, AZ. and can not get the change made from displaying Phoenix. I need it to display Green Valley location and weather. I can change it to display Green Valley info but after turning off Firefox, it will display the Phoenix info again on start up.

Do not use Clear Recent History to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
