[Bug 1116071] Re: Google search povider for en-GB locale incorrectly adds "gl" parameter forcing UK-based search results

We need someone located in the UK to remove the "gl" parameter and see
if Google is properly detecting their location automatically.  In my
experience, it does a very good job of this, but if not then obviously I
agree all the UK users shouldn't have to deal with US results.  In my
case, this parameter also affects Google Shopping results, showing me
only products in UK stores in GBP.  Thankfully it is easy to use a
modified google.xml file.
