To clarify the minor point, I'm talking about the primary language of Google search results, on Chromium the front-page of search results is always English. On Firefox it's entirely Spanish or whatever other local language of my location. Yes my locale / OS defaults are set correctly and unrelated.

I'm saying two things: a) Chromium / Chrome prioritizes recognizing the same-user. b) Maybe they are (accidentally?) very bad are remembering non-chrome users. As I said if it's an accident I'd be surprised, try it next you visit a foreign country.
Is it redirecting you to a local site, or using a different language on Google.com? Maybe you've done https://www.google.com/ncr (No Country Redirect) on Chrome, but not on Firefox?
No (not for /ncr) I am saying the default search (think mobile-phone home-screen search-bar) if directed to Chrome almost always tends to work (and if I tell it to switch once to English it will remember across Wifi networks) where as Firefox is more iffy. I'm not sure it's as serious as OP conveys, I mean are you really going to complain about Google failing to track you? But I've been quite annoyed to search for something and get all of my results repetitively in a foreign language.
anecodatal: Have seen and paid a large price differences on airline tickets (google flights referrer? ) with and without /ncr ($500++)
