Using Firefox 35 (downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/new/) and Search box in top right corner is set to Google. I am happy searching with Google.
When I type 'smoke alarm' it comes up with some smoke alarms for sale in UK stores. But I then click on 'Shopping' and it goes to google.com Shopping with US stores and prices in dollars. Useless.
My homepage is set to google.co.uk and when I do same search and then Shopping it shows UK stores and prices.
What can I do to make the Search box send me to google.co.uk?
Set Google.co.uk as a bookmark and use that
There's a simple patch you can download to fix Firefox. You can get it [url= https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/ ]here[/url].
When you click through into Shopping, on the top left hand side, it should show you your location. With a 'Change' link underneath.
Failing that, type about:config into the address bar and hit enter. It will warn you to be careful (be careful). It will list the config options with a search bar at the top. Search for 'browser.search', and in the list displayed, you should see browser.search.isUS, this should be false. Then have a look at the browser.search.order settings it should tell you what the search engines are. Number 1 should be Google. You can change this to Google.co.uk if you want, and see if this give a better result.
