This bug or similar is reported multiple times upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458602 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426426 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439737
It seems like everyone wants to disclaim responsibility for this: Ubuntu passes to Mozilla suggests Google's fault. I think regardless of what Google's geolocation/language policy is, Mozilla should be offering to respect the language/location settings of the user. I think regardless of whether upstream decide to do this (and in what time-frame....), upgrading Ubuntu packages shouldn't automatically be losing my changes. Point being, for a user that finds this sufficiently problematic, it doesn't matter where the failure originally comes from: there is a simple fix that should be respected when upgrading Firefox instead of silently reverted. Any chance we can see this happen? Is there an issue with google.xml not being in ~/ or /etc? ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #458602 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458602 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #426426 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426426 ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #439737 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439737 -- can't switch to local google search https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
