Yes windows running on the same machine, and location/using the same internet connection.
Not everything seems to be handled by google. If I go to www.google.com google will redirect me to www.google.com.au which is fine but the if I use the searchbox I'm sent to www.google.com search results. This is not just something happening to me there are many post scattered across the internet relating to this issue, its also seems UK users are also sent to the US site. See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1354830 and http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/08/18/add-google-australia- or-your-specific-country-to-the-firefox-search-bar/ This could possibly be due to ubuntu customisations I'm not sure, the search url looks like this: http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=test&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909200 Title: Firefox goolge search defaults to US when in Australia Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Invalid Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Ubuntu Firefox Extension: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When default timezone is set to Australian time Firefox still defaults to doing google searches using the US site. Keyboard layout cannot be used to detect an Australian user as we use the default US keyboard layout here. It is very annoying having to add .au to the google url after every search. Firefox on windows can work out I'm in Australia it would be nice if Linux/Ubuntu were able to do this by default also.
