Question: My browser is sick!

I'm having some really strange cookie issues with Firefox (2.01). For starters, I can't access www.google.com...

First off, my specs: I'm on XP, running Firefox 2.0 (which recently upgraded itself to 2.01). Weird things are happening that I can't figure out.

--I'm in Japan, and when I type in www.google.com, it takes me to www.google.co.jp, the Japanese Google site. In the bottom corner, it'll say "Google in English" and a link to the English site, but I click it and it does nothing. I've been using ahoo search this past week. Various random Google pages, like my Google Calendar page, is also in Japanese.

--Yahoo won't save my login info. I have to type in my damn username and password everytime I check my email.

Other strange things: YouTube videos don't play automatically, and I have to hit the "play" button several times. Don't have this problem with Google video or other video sites. And my Hotmail! I have to manually log in like with Yahoo, and do so successfully, but when I click on "inbox", it logs me out!

I've tried simply deleting my cookies, but that didn't do anything--I still have the same problems. Browser Masters, whatever shall I do?

Does this only happen with Firefox? And could it have to do with the cable damage near Taiwan?

Maybe reinstall or downgrade back to 2.0?

Isn't youtube videos in flash? maybe there's a setting to autoplay flash. but i thought flash autoplaying is independent of the browser.
