Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it. That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.

If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.
