I downloaded Firefox and it comes up as www.google.com/firefox. Is Firefox owned by Google or did I download it wrong? Thanks

Firefox is developed by Mozilla, which is (and always will be) a non-profit.

The development of Firefox and other Mozilla products is sponsored by Google and other technology companies. (Just look at the available search engines)

To change your home page, go to Tools > Options from the menu bar.

Hope that clears things up a bit.
