Guessing you are Windows 10? 
Go into settings and search for VPN, click remove if you have any VPN's like I have in this screenshot:

That's the first thing I did, no VPN is showing. Everything has still looked normal with Sky connection but I just had this message when i tried to access a site "To protect your security, www.get-express-vpn.online will not allow Firefox to display the page if another site has embedded it. " I don't recall ever seeing that message before

Ok, sounds like Express VPN has been added to Firefox as an add-in.

Can you try going on the menu / add-ons / extensions and then you can click on the three dots next to any extensions you want to remove?

Firefox does come with a built in VPN as well that can be enabled, so check that as well, I think it appears as an add-on as well in the extensions.

Nope there is nothing there in extensions, and I can't see any Firefox VPN that can be enabled

Check for Proxies, not VPNs. You can either set your Browser back to it's defaults by choosing to reset or go in and disable the Proxy manually.

You're getting into areas beyond my understanding talking about proxies unfortunately. I can find  proxies in 'options' and the current chosen configuration is "Use system proxy settings" but I don't see the relevance to my original post where my location and ip address were modified without my knowledge.

That's the point of a proxy. To make it look as if you are somewhere else. You connect to the Proxy; proxy connects to the website.The question is how the connection to the proxy is taking place.
