[Bug 909200] [NEW] Firefox goolge search defaults to US when time settings are set to Australia

 

Public bug reported:

When deafult timezone is set to Australian time Firefox still defaults
to doing google searches using the US site. Keyboard layout cannot be
used to detect an Australian user as we use the default US keybourd
layout here. It is very anyoing having to add .au to the google url
after every search. Firefox on windows can work out I'm in Australia it
would be nice if Ubuntu were able to do this by default also.
