The old Google homepage, http://www.google.com/firefox , is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. It appears that it is no longer being maintained.

Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of about:home. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.
