I installed Firefox 8 in Oneiric from the mentioned PPA, it worked except one bug: Google search via search bar suddenly delivered english results instead of german (which is my locale)! I could fix this by the "Manage seach engines... ---> Restore defaults"-button.

This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3

---------------
firefox (8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3) oneiric-security; urgency=low

  * New upstream release from the stable channel (FIREFOX_8_0_BUILD1)
    - see LP: #887339 for USN information

  [ Chris Coulson <email address hidden> ]
  * Don't disable our bundled addons on upgrade
    - update debian/vendor.js
  * Modify the UA string to add "Ubuntu" to the platform component
    - add debian/patches/ubuntu-ua-string-changes.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
    - update debian/rules
  * Move custom scripts to debian/build
    - move debian/get-xpi-id.py to debian/build/get-xpi-id.py
    - move debian/refresh-supported-locales.pl to
       debian/build/refresh-supported-locales.pl
    - move debian/extract-file.py to debian/build/extract-file.py
    - update debian/rules
    - move debian/testsuite.mk to debian/build/testsuite.mk
  * Dropped patches fixed upstream:
    - remove debian/patches/build-fix-for-no-ENABLE_YARR_JIT.patch
    - remove debian/patches/compile-pldhash-as-C++.patch
    - update debian/patches/series
  * Refresh patches:
    - update debian/patches/firefox-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/mozilla-kde.patch
    - update debian/patches/ubuntu-codes-google.patch
  * Shrink the default mozconfig right down so that we use mostly upstream
    defaults, rather than overriding them with our own options. It is still
    possible to override them though. We also drop the pkg-config checks in
    debian/rules which allowed a fallback build configuration when dependencies
    aren't satisfied. Really, the build should just fail here rather than
    continuing in some undesirable fallback mode
    - update debian/firefox-dev.install.in
    - update debian/firefox-dev.links.in
    - update debian/mozconfig.in
    - update debian/pkgconfig/libxul.pc.in
    - update debian/control.in
    - update debian/rules
  * Refresh build-depends, as this hasn't been done for a while:
    - Drop patchutils, libxft-dev, libxinerama-dev, libgnome2-dev and bzip2.
      These aren't needed
    - Drop liborbit2-dev - only required if there is no libidl
    - Add libglib2.0-dev, libext-dev, libfontconfig1-dev and libpango1.0-dev,
      as the configure script checks for these directly
    - Add minimum versions to libgconf2-dev, libgnomevfs2-dev, yasm and
      libgnomeui-dev
    - Specify minimum versions for libnspr4-dev, libcairo2-dev, libsqlite3-dev
      and libnss3-dev when using system versions of those libs
  * Introduce a branch config file (debian/config/branch.mk) which holds
    settings which shouldn't be merged between branches (eg, whether
    the crash reporter should be enabled)
    - add debian/config/branch.mk
    - update debian/rules
  * Move debian/locales.* to debian/config
    - move debian/locales.shipped => debian/config/locales.shipped
    - move debian/locales.unavail => debian/config/locales.unavail
    - move debian/locales.blacklist => debian/config/locales.blacklist

Did you install the German language pack from the PPA as well?

Yes, the german language pack was also installed from the PPA.

Was the interface using the correct language?

@Chris
Yes, everything else was localized correctly, only the search results
from google were suddenly English. Weird indeed. I remember vaguely that
I experienced the same behaviour this summer during a Firefox upgrade on
Natty from 4 to 5 or 5 to 6, so this might be an issue that is already
around for a longer time.
I'll check and report if this happens again when a new Firefox version
gets installed.

It's not likely to be a Firefox problem then. The results are localized based on what is in your Accept-Language header (which is "de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3" if the German language pack is enabled), or the language settings in your Google account if you are signed in
