Binary package hint: firefox

After the last update (to firefox 5.0) the google search plugin send me to the English page (google.com), but the language of my system is Russian. The older firefox (before update) send me to correct Russian page (google.ru).

Yeah, it must have been. We haven't changed the search plugin for Russian users at all during the upgrade - in fact, Google search for all languages uses www.google.com. We rely on Google to provide you appropriately localized results based on your location.
