You can find the home page setting here:

  • Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page

Note that Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.

That image is of the default homepage in Firefox, not a Google search page. It uses whichever search engine you have set as the default search engine; it may be Google or it might be Yahoo or another search engine. IE actually uses the Google search engine (https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl) as its homepage, and it looks way different than the Firefox default homepage.
