I thought this was supposed to be a support forum, this is where i was directed to get help if there is nobody here to offer help where am i supposed to go?

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/"
