You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.


If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file prefs.js in the Firefox Profile Folder isn't corrupted.
