I'm not sure what issue you're trying to report here. Could you explain in more detail what you are doing?

The URL provided specifies another language in it, so it will be in the wrong language. Why are you doing that?

[André Gondim (andregondim)]

to do the search engine by default, instead of Google being in my language is Portuguese of Brazil, is in another language.

[Mitsuya Shibata (cosmos-door)]

Reproduced in Japanese.

Procedure.
1. Open firefox in your locale(my lang code=ja).
2. Input any word and enter in top-right google search box.
3. Displayed search result, and it seems that UI is Cherokee(lang code=chr)
4. Click Google logo
5. Check URL, it is http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=chr
  But should be http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=ja

I took screenshots.

[André Gondim (andregondim)]

Since last update, now it's ok to pt_BR language.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Closing the Firefox task, as this isn't a browser bug

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Oops, wrong bug. In any case, this is because your intl.accept_languages is set to the wrong value. A few people have hit this, but I can't recreate it (and we definitely don't set it to a wrong value by default). I'm not sure whether people are running a particular extension which messes this up.

[Mitsuya Shibata (cosmos-door)]

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your information. I checked intl.accept_langages.
Problem machine: chrome://global/locale/intl.properties
Reinstalled (not problem) machine: ja, en, en-US

It seems that first three letters of "chrome" was used as
as language code. Because problem machine use "Firefox Sync"
with various machines (included Firefox Mobile beta) and
services.sync.prefs.sync.intl.accept_languages is "true",
unexpected settings might have mingled with sync data.

I re-installed 2011/04/23 daily-live, and set up Firefox
Sync with new account. It works with no problem.
