I have set www.google.com as my home address, this always opens the German website, but at least there is a link to Google.com. If I open any other page before changing, it is always the German version, and there is no way to change it. I don't have this problem with Explorer 8

Any ideas?

Regards

It is not the solution for me. I have a second pc witrh FireFox 3.6plus running on Windows XP service pack 3 This works fine, I get Google in English as normal.

The problem is with my Windows 7 pc, as the Google setup is the same, it must be something local.
