Late here so I'm sorry if this has already been suggested.

In the URL space type:

about:config

in the search space type:

browser.startup.homepage

Does that say 'Bing' something? 'About:home' would be whatever you set
home to be in the GUI

about:blank would be a blank page

http://google.com would be...   :-)

also take a look at:

startup.homepage_welcome_url

and

startup.homepage_override_url
