Firefox 3.6 - Navigation Toolbar - Google search box language problem

I am currently working from Germany. From Firefox, if I give something to search in the Google search box in the browser, it is automatically taking me to google.de, and is returning results which is of no use for me.

Is there any chance, that I can change the default to google.com or google.co.in or google.co.uk, something like that which gives me English results?
