However, before giving up: have you tried to look in
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/searchplugins/google.src
(that should be the searchplugin of the FF panel)

and edit it with an English URL?
My file is as such:

# Mozilla/Google plug-in by amitp+mozilla@××××××.com

<search
    name="Google"
    description="Google Search"
    method="GET"
    action="http://www.google.com/search"
    queryCharset="utf-8"
 >

<input name="q" user>
<inputnext name="start" factor="10">
<inputprev>
<input name="ie" value="utf-8">
<input name="oe" value="utf-8">

<interpret
     browserResultType="result"
     charset = "UTF-8"
     resultListStart="<!--a-->"
     resultListEnd="<!--z-->"
     resultItemStart="<!--m-->"
     resultItemEnd="<!--n-->"
 >
</search>

<browser
     update="https://addons.mozilla.org/searchplugins/updates/google.src"
 
updateIcon="https://addons.mozilla.org/searchplugins/updates/google.gif"
     updateCheckDays="1"

I haven't tested, but I think that if you change 
http://www.google.com/search with

http://www.a-working-google-in-english-url.whatever/search

you could have your preferred behaviour hardcoded.
