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.

clear your cache.

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.....

Make sure you click spara inställningar to save changes.

[tesco]

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

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!.

Prolly a cache thing from using a proxy earlier, it's happened to me.

finally found the solution via http://onkarjoshi.wordpress.com/2006/11/12/a-simple-firefox-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
