Hi pt1099,

This isn't actually a Firefox issue specifically, it's a Google thing. Did it just start today? Are you talking about the SOPA protest?

If not, it may just be a background preference for your Google homepage. You can click on change background in the lower left side of the screen.

Yes, it is the SOPA protest, I was unaware of this so I assume it will return to normal at some point? Thanks for your quick reply.
