Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When I search something via the search bar,it shows me German search results.
But if I search something via the Firefox start page, it shows me English search results.
The first thing I do is to set the startpage to google.de. I would gladly use the Ubuntu start page so that Ubuntu gets some money from Google, but I do not want to have english search results.
This is a paper cut in my opinion!

Confirmed here with 10.04.
The Google start page and search bar search engines should be set according to the localisation chosen during installation.
