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. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741049 Title: Search bar does not use localised Google -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
