Are you sure you aren't being sent to the Portuguese version because
Google finds your IP is in Portugual and redirects you to where it
thinks you want to go? I've seen this in .de, .br and .ph, so I presume
it's the same in other countries.
I also don't want the national versions so I go directly to
http://www.google.com/advanced_search
where the redirection doesn't happen. Works fine in any browser here.

cheers!
