This version is no more supported and is not a 'security' problem; so
does not expect a backport

Title:
  GB and ZA local settings do not work correctly since they are the same
  as US

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I live in the UK, downloaded Ubuntu (and Firefox) from a UK mirror, my
  IP is UK based, my system settings have UK British English set as
  defaults system wide, my Firefox settings have English GB set as
  default. However when I use the search plugins in Firefox or try and
  search from the address bar, the results are for the US Google site.
  Prices are in dollars, cities are in the US, news is from the US, etc
  etc etc.

  On inspection the language specific xml files under /usr/lib/firefox-
  addons/distribution/searchplugins/locale are identical for GB and US.
  Sadly for me they are for the US sites not the GB sites. The same
  might be true for the ZA language specific xmls too.

  As a workaround I can edit the GB ones to correctly point to the
  .co.uk sites for Google and the other search enginges. Again sadly for
  me that this is overwritten when FF is updated.

  lsb_release -rd:
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  apt-cache policy firefox-locale-en:
  Installed: 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1
  Candidate: 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.1

  
  Steps to reproduce: 
  1) Select English GB as system wide language and time / date defaults
  2) Select GB English to be language of choice for Firefox
  3) Use the Google search engine from the search bar

  Expected result:
  Search engine shows .co.uk results (en-GB specific)

  Actual result:
  Search engine shows .com results (ignoring system and Firefox preferences)
