Hi, just recently whenever i highlight a product on a page i want to search for via right click it is showing me results in US dollars, same with the firefox search bar when i search for things in that it is showing results for US and the shopping is in US dollars. I am in the UK so why is it showing these results? I don't want to continue using google toolbar as it's no longer supported but as long as this is happening i have to. Thank you for any help.

Thanks alot for the support mozilla! For anyone who may have the same problem you need to find the file called "google.xml" in xp it is "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\searchplugins\" you may have to show hidden files. Right click and edit, replace every "google.com" with "google.co.uk" without quotes. It seems to have borked the search in the address bar but i can live with that.

I have since found a better way, Web Search Pro, in the addons, then just add all the search providers you want from the site. "http://websearchpro.captaincaveman.nl/"
