This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.

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.

My start page was http://en-GB.start2.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official I changed to default via "Restore to Default", and all is OK now. Many thanks for clearing my confusion.
