(tbh i think most of my country people is dumb, so it annoys me, so i NEVER search in Portuguese or searching this about Brazil)

Please help me

First thing I would suggest doing if you haven't already is going to:

https://www.google.com/preferences

and changing your region from the default "Current Region" to "United States"

If that doesn't work, you could try the following:

  1. type "about:config" (without quotes) into your address bar
  2. accept warning
  3. type "browser.search.region" (no quotes) into the search box.
  4. click the pencil icon to edit
  5. change the value to "US" (no quotes) and click the check mark
  6. restart Firefox
