I am a regular user of Firefox 3.6 in the US. When I started to use my computer during an extended trip to Mexico I noticed that the address changed to add ".mx" and information is in Spanish rather than English. I would prefer to receive the information in English rather than Spanish.

Set your preferred language to English. For more information, see Settings for web content, pop-ups, fonts, and languages.

Google use your IP address, so for this site, you'll be redirected to google.mx whatever your preferred language.
