I am in Thailand and everytime I search anything on google in the address bar, search bar, or by going to google.com (redirects to https://www.google.co.th/?gws_rd=cr&ei=zxpeU6_NL8iHrQee9IHoCw), I get a Thai language Google page with mixed language results.

There is even a pop up there partially in english saying "Looking for results in English?". I have clicked this many times and it allows me to select English which was already selected anyways and it of course make no difference. I have even tried other languages and it still does nothing. I have cleared cookies/cache and tried it all over again too. Of course I have also clicked and gone to "google.com in english" and it doesn't seem to plant a cookie as I remember it used to.

I see another solution on here from a guy with the same problem in Hong Kong and he edited the google.xml file for Windows but I am an OS X user so it does not help me.

What are the installed languages in Firefox and their order?

Awesome, works perfectly! Thank you so much.

After installing that, I was able to select "Google SSL (en)" as my search engine in the search engine bar.
