How do I stop Firefox from going to Google everytime I open the browser?
In my organization, we have well over 2,000 PCs. Every time Firefox is open, it connects to Google IPs (74.125.x.x) even when we are not on Google's site and do not have Google as the search provider. From what I understand (and correct me if I am wrong), Firefox links to Google for anti-phishing/anti-malware lists. The problem I have is with over 2,000 PCs going thru our web filter, it is bogging down our web filter with these connections.
Is there any way to stop Firefox from making these connections to Google (74.125.x.x)?

First update your firefox to 24.0 from Mozilla.org.
Second In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
Search the string "browser.startup.homepage",double click on it and change the value. Then press OK and restart firefox
