Hello,

I have set my starting page (that opens when I open Firefox) to: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0&hl=nl How is it possible (and why?) that the URL from my start page changes? For example, it changes to: https://www.google.nl/webhp?complete=0&hl=nl&gws_rd=cr,ssl&ei=qLs1V5iAOIaosgHVpaPIAw

So why is this put behind it? ----> &gws_rd=cr,ssl&ei=qLs1V5iAOIaosgHVpaPIAw And what does it mean?
