Language for google search field in firefox toolbar is wrong
I've got a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 (64 bit) and for some reason the Google search field in the Firefox toolbar always searches google.jp. Given that I'm in Australia and struggle to read Japanese this is somewhat less than useful to me. Does anyone know how I can change the language/Google site that search field uses?

This Firefox add-on will force the Google search to use the US .com server... At least it's a language you speak.

go to about:config and check if there is anything funky (like including japanese at a high priority) in intl.accept_languages
you might also play with intl.locale.matchOS
failing that, filter about:config for "google" and check for oddball settings in parameters.

The Mycroft Project is a huge collection of search plugins. You can add any regional/language based searches to your own collection, and delete the ones which you don't need.
For example I have Google Maps US, and Google Maps UK, and I move them up or down depending on where I am. I also have Google Images with no filtering, Rotten Tomatoes and YouTube.
