I test it on FireFox 1.0 & nightly build firefox-1.0.zh-CN.win32.installer.exe

sorry, that's not a real bug. 

When search a keywork in firefox search field, firefox will send a URL such as
'http://www.google.com/search?q=keyword&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official'
to google.

for unknown reason, if the URL include "client=firefox*", firefox/IE will
receive a 302 redirect response. and redirect to
"http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/". If I replace the string by
"....&client=firefo&....", browser can receive the search result.

Maybe my ISP block firefox's google search.....


anyway, celebrate firefox 1.0
