New description:

 In TorBrowserBundle, in
 FirefoxPortable/App/Firefox/searchplugins/google.xml you should remove the
 "dynamic parameters".

 When someone uses Firefox' builtin box to google something, it sends
 things to google it shouldnt.

 I.e. when using german TBB, google can see that I come from Germany
 because of {moz:distributionID}:{moz:locale}:{moz:official}
