Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
I have installed Ubuntu 10.10, amd64 from a UK mirror and set the
locale, date&time, keyboard etc to UK/GB.
Expected:
Firefox to respect locale settings.
What happened:
Firefox always used USA for search bar.
Workaround:
With the default install, FF 3.6 would always use "google.com" rather than
"google.co.uk" from the search bar, I had to hack "google.xml" under
"/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-GB" to correct this.
After upgrading to FF4 using stable PPA, all localisations seem to be
ignored, I had expected my previous modifications to be carried over.
Even setting all options under "about:config" to "en-GB" did not get the
search bar to use "google.co.uk" and I had to hack "google.xml" under
"/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/en-GB" and "/usr/lib/firefox-
addons/searchplugins/en-US" to get it to work.
