I've seen you've just changed the default Google search plugin from en-us. Are we required to replicate these changes to other locales, or you are about to push the changes to all locales?

Sorry for the double, but please ignore my previous message. I didn't noticed it is Fennec-only issue. It is easier now to resolve those issues in Fennec than in Firefox. 

(We may want to replicate this tweaks to Firefox 3.6 as well...)

There is only one Google plugin, so the change there doesn't impact locales at all as far as I know. locales that specify "google" in list.txt get the en-US version (true in both Firefox and Fennec).

These tweaks don't apply to Firefox (which also already sets fr=moz35).
