Funny, I have the opposite problem. I'm from the US, but I use en-GB because I want words to be spelt correctly without any ugly Americanisms. When I search from Firefox, Google (.com) gives me links to mostly UK sites (like amazon.co.uk, ebay.co.uk, etc.) which I really do not want, because of the unnecessary "gl=uk" parameter. We need to be careful about recognizing the difference between *language* and *region*. In any case, Google now allows you to set your location manually which I believe is the sensible way to fix this bug.
