I used a free VPN (Windscribe) EXTENSION to Firefox which changed my IP address from New Zealand to an IP address in Hong Kong. My Internet speeds slowed down so badly that I disabled and removed the Firefox extension. The problem is that the Hong Kong IP address seems to persist and my internet speeds are so slooow that Firefox bombs out with a timeout issue.
How can I revert to my origininal New Zealand IP address and stop this slooow internet access ?

I decided that I had nothing to lose so I loaded the Windscribe EXE and fully installed it - then I executed Windscribe from the Ubuntu Terminal and then Disconnected Windscribe from there. This has resolved my Public IP issue. Thank you for your assistance and for bearing with me in this journey !!
