Title says it all. On my homepage it says United Kingdom. See the attachment for further details. This only happens with Firefox. Any idea how to make this go away? Also, I'm not in the UK so I'm not even sure why this is doing that.

In google, search up something, anything will do, and then scroll to the bottom of the page. Click on "Update Location" or "Use Precise Location". You will have to allow your computer to share its location with google. I hope this fixes your problem.

It is Google that is showing your current location (country) via a reverse DNS lookup of your IP. There can do about this other than choosing another home page like the builtin Firefox Home page.
