I can no longer get to Yahoo.com which now always defaults to Yahoo.de, the German Yahoo. When I change it to the American one it immediately goes back to the German. I am American but live in Germany. I thought if I turned off the auto-locater I might be able to access Yahoo.com again so want to try it. How do I turn it off?

You can try navigate in a private window:

Or go to about:config search for geo.enabled change its value to false

Hi,

I don't think Private Browsing is the issue, rather the locator and when I click on the link you provide I get an error message like this:

ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

The following error was encountered: 

   Connection Failed

The system returned: 

   (110) Connection timed out

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

tdullmaier:

mozillaZine was down for a while (for me at least). It should be working now.

Continuing Diego Victor's advice:
Either way, you can navigate to "about:config" manually just like an website address. When you pull it up, simply click the button that says "I'll be careful, I promise!" to bypass that warning. You can simply search for geo.enabled and set it to false (right clicking > Toggle)
