Try reset your home page:
Other way:
Go to about:config search for browser.startup.page change its value to:
about:home default
about:blank blank page
Modified
Your screenshot shows "AVG Secure Search".
I found this thread on the AVG forum, http://forums.avg.com/us-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=237965 ...in which the last post dated Jan 7 2014 says, "Uninstalling of Toolbar using uninstall button should remove all remains even New tab search."
See this Mozilla Support article for detailed instructions:
My home page is fine but I can not delete the AVG
Maybe it is your plug-ins or add-ons, try go there and remove:
Did you try all of the suggestions in the Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page article?
The Restore the default home page or search settings section says,
"You may need to reset your Firefox search preferences and restore the default New Tab page, home page and search engine after removing the toolbar. A simple way to do that is with the Search Reset add-on."
tnx AliceWyman
Search Reset add-on,
It works
Thanks for reporting that the Search Reset add-on solved the problem. I marked my last reply as the solution.
I thought the problem was solved but as soon as I turn off the computer it is repeated the AVG is not deleted
plz help...
Maybe this AVG Support article will help:
If you still have problems after going through that article, and no one else here has a solution, I think your best bet would be to get more help on the AVG Support site:
It has been deleted now, I deleted all the browser from the computer and erased it in registry
the-magician, So, is it still fixed even after you reboot the computer?
If the problem is solved, please mark the answer that solved the problem (or else mark your own reply as the solution).

Thanks. I marked your last reply, that you deleted the browser from computer and registry ... and I installed all over again, as the solution.
It's not the ultimate solution Consider
the magician, Your solution may not be the best for everyone but if it worked for you, then it's the solution as far as this thread goes.
For the benefit of others reading: The Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page article does mention removing and reinstalling Firefox as one possible solution, in the Other Solutions section. (Quote)
- If your current Firefox installation was customized by another software provider, you'll need to uninstall Firefox from your computer and then download Firefox from the Firefox download page and reinstall it.
AVG secure search can be removed from your machine. I used the posting of KerriB of 6/23/12. It worked perfectly. Recommend the procedure if you are through trying other techniques. KerriB posted on 6/23/12 works.
How can I see what KerriB posted on 6/23/12 ?
