    Google not sticking to Google.co.uk after upgrade to Maverick

    Morning all,

    Not sure this is in any way related to the upgrade but it's just started happening since I installed Maverick this afternoon: I'm in the UK, but whenever I search for something in Google.co.uk it directs me to Google.com and returns US results (particularly annoying for, say, shopping purposes). I've restarted Firefox, cleared cache/cookies, even opted for manually searching for only results in the UK using Advanced Search, but no joy - it's consistently returning Google.com. Other search engines (e.g. Bing) stay correctly assigned to the UK region.

    Anyone happen to know how this might be fixed?

    Thanks!

    Went ahead and erased Browsing & Download History as well, which seems to have resolved it. Odd!
