This can fix it:
Edit the <FirefoxDir>\searchplugins\google.src file, find this:
<search
   version = "7.1"
   name="Google"
   description="Google Search"
   method="GET"
   action="http://www.google.com/search"
   searchform="http://www.google.com"
   queryEncoding="UTF-8"
   queryCharset="UTF-8"
>

change the line"name="Google"" to "name="google""
