277487 - Google searches result in blank Google main page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 277486

(Firefox :: Search, defect)

Description

[walter]

(NB:Second try submitting this bug, for Firefox 1.7.5 .. if I did it wrong again
please move to the correct place instead of closing)...

When I use the Google search in Firefox 1.7.5 (and 1.7.3 previous to my recent
upgrade) I end up on a Simplified Chinese google search page with no search
results, instead of seeing my expected search results.

I end up at http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/

This is probably because my IP is in China and Google is doing some GeoIP
lookups I guess (my HTTP 'Accept-language:' is 'en').
