Bug Description

Firefox doesn't do localised google searches when using the either the Ubuntu Start homepage or the search bar in the upper right corner of the screen.

For example if I am in New Zealand and I search for something it is searching google.com, when it should be using google.co.nz.

This is important since localised searches usually give better and more relevant results.
