    Why is it when i do a search in google via the firefox google search thingy
    its always in swedish.
    -no im not using a proxy
    i looked in the searchplugins and the google script says nothing about .se
    Code:
    # Mozilla/Google plug-in by [email protected]
    
    <search 
       name="Google"
       description="Google Search"
       method="GET"
       action="http://www.google.com/search"
       update="http://www.google.com/mozilla/google.src"
       updateCheckDays=1   
       queryEncoding="utf-8"
       queryCharset="utf-8"
    >
    
    <input name="q" user>
    <input name="sourceid" value="mozilla-search">
    <inputnext name="start" factor="10">
    <inputprev name="start" factor="10">
    <input name="ie" value="utf-8">
    <input name="oe" value="utf-8">
    
    <interpret 
        browserResultType="result" 
        charset = "UTF-8"
        resultListStart="<!--a-->" 
        resultListEnd="<!--z-->" 
        resultItemStart="<!--m-->" 
        resultItemEnd="<!--n-->"
    >
    </search>
    How can i get it to simply always go to English Google? (no matter which country im in)

    Could your Windows localization settings be set to Sweden?

    Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Regional Options tab

    That's all I can think of that would cause google.se to be used as the default in FF.

    click preferences (on the google website)>change the language.

    no matter how you search it goes right back to the same google website so those settings take effect wherever u search.

    my regional language settings are set to UK
    i set the google prefs to English, then allow for cookies from google in Ffox
    but after i close ff and run ccleaner - itll still be back to google.se(in swedish) when i search.....

    ccleaner is deleting the cookie.
    not sure why swedish is coming up as your default language though.

    Hello!

    Are you using Google Toolbar??

    If so click Preferences/Options button on the toolbar and under Search Options in the pop up menu for Use Google select the Google engine you want!.

    finally found the solution via http://onkarjoshi.wordpress.com/2006...irefox-2-hack/

    navigate to the Firefox 2 installation directory (probably C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) you’ll see a directory “searchplugins”
    in Goolge.xml, but just look at the line with the URL tag,

    <Url type=”text/html” method=”GET” template =”http://www.google.com/search”>

    Change “google.com” in that line to “http://www.google.co.in/search” ! Save the file. And it’s done

    speads it up too
