Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> 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. Using the Google search bar on the about:home page should still open results in the local Google site of the country where your IP locates you. If that isn't the case then try to clear the Google cookies. * If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions. * If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com.au or www.google.com.au/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions. ---- You can get additional Google search engines here: * http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html
