I had the same today, happened all of a sudden this morning (ubuntu
10.10, but using FF4, whole system is in Italian).
the string in the about:config mentioned by BenHoughton was
unexplainably set to: "chrome://global/locale/intl.properties", instead
of simply "it" (for Italian), as it should be in my case. this is why
google gets "chr" as the first letter, and thinks I'm Cherokee (wonder
how this affects their users statitics, and if anyone in Mountain view
even noticed this).
Reversing that string to "it" solves the problem.
I guess it has something to do with the automatically installed
extension "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications", since at the same time I had
my firefox home page automatically changed to
"chrome://ubufox/locale/ubufox.properties", which displays this text
(instead of the standard Ubuntu style google interface):
helloMessage=Ciao mondo!
helloMessageTitle=Ciao
prefMessage=Int Pref Value: %d
