Sounds like a ccleaner bug.  Please report it to them:

Reopen this bug report if the conclusion is that this really is a bug in Firefox.

-> INVALID

Actually, what happens is Google sets a cookie if you want to go to the English-US domain (google.com) but you have an IP address or other settings that would instead suggest that they direct you to another domain (like google.fr).

If you use ccleaner to delete this cookie, you'll reset to where Google THINKS you should go.
