This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
GB and ZA local settings do not work correctly since they are the same
as US
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I live in the UK, downloaded Ubuntu (and Firefox) from a UK mirror, my
IP is UK based, my system settings have UK British English set as
defaults system wide, my Firefox settings have English GB set as
default. However when I use the search plugins in Firefox or try and
search from the address bar, the results are for the US Google site.
Prices are in dollars, cities are in the US, news is from the US, etc
etc etc.
On inspection the language specific xml files under /usr/lib/firefox-
addons/distribution/searchplugins/locale are identical for GB and US.
Sadly for me they are for the US sites not the GB sites. The same
might be true for the ZA language specific xmls too.
As a workaround I can edit the GB ones to correctly point to the
.co.uk sites for Google and the other search enginges. Again sadly for
me that this is overwritten when FF is updated.
