need to change my location for home country

Asked by markhislop

I installed fire fox 3.5 and when I did I gave the time-zone and home country as Honduras. I need to change this, as when I google something in central america, google goes to google Honduras in spanish. How do I get back to the start to change this, all though I live in Honduras I need the internet in english

In firefox you can go to edit -> Preferences and then change the google
homepage, to http://www.google.com/ which will make google in english :)
