Do you mean you are running the Google browser, or has the Firefox browser changed to the Google homepage?

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home

also, my history and bookmarks are gone

The browser may have been reset.

Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; Old Firefox?
