When I open a new tab and manually enter a URL such as www.xxxx.com, because I am located in France, it either changes the URL to www.xxxx.eu or www.xxxx.fr. It is not systematic so I assume it is something driven by the web site you are trying to reach. I have looked in Tools/Options but could not find how to prevent this to happen. Is it something in my profile that some web servers read and if they see I am set to FR, they change the URL? My point is that when I write ".com" in my URL field, I want it to remain ".com", that's all... Thanks.

I am not aware of any way in Firefox you can stop this as it sounds like you are being redirected by the server hosting the website based on the geographic region of your computer's IP address given to you by your ISP.

The only way right now I can think of stopping this is to use a proxy to access the website.

Try http://proxy.org/ and choose a proxy based in the USA.

Be careful about posted private data over a proxy, though.

I hope this helps you.

P.S. If you have a proxy you trust you can set Firefox to always use it by going to Tools > Options > Advanced tab > Settings button and entering the proxy data there but I don't trust proxies that I don't know. Perhaps your ISP can offer a solution for you?
