stupid question

A temporary board while I'm working out issues with the real WD.

The posts made here will not appear on the real WD when it re-opens.

Please note that I won't be providing any technical support for this board, as I would prefer to focus my attention on fixing the other board. So, if you're confused by anything, just try to figure things out, search the phpBB forums, ask other users for help, or just bear with it.

stupid question

Post by Sarah »

I have just noted that after the latest Firefox update my home page, set to Google, is now Google UK. When I try to get to google.com, I am redirected to google.co.uk. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Google has been behaving like this for a while now on my computer (with google.ca). Just click the link "Go to Google.com" below the search bar and everything should be back to normal.

Thank you, Sylvain. But is this not weird?

I don't think it's weird, It's is probably done to help with advertising. The fact that it happened after you upgraded your browser is probably related to cookies being reset.
