Subject: Firefox within Android (No support for UK users.. still?)

A problem:

No Google UK searching from address bar or search bar.


A 2nd problem:

Disabling all other search engines and leaving the Add-on Google UK search engine enabled does NOT fix this.


A 3rd problem:

All links opened in Firefox default through Google.com rather than UK even though I'm in the UK.


A suggestion:

Please make Google UK available to me/us of the UK in all future releases of Firefox and stop leaving us (AND THE SWEDISH) out of it. It makes no sense.


Alternativly:

Does anyone have any working fixes for the Android Firefox released January 2012.
