Hi JoeyChen, do you mean you get that when you run a search, or right when you start up?

If it occurs when you start up or launch a new window (Ctrl+n), there may be a typo in your home page address. You can double-check on the Options page. See: How to set the home page.

I recommend using the full address https://www.google.com/ because if you put something shorter, Firefox will be redirected and may end up sending two or three requests (which just wastes your time).
