    You probably set the language or something similar wrong. Generally a hijack would be a page nothing like google. I'm not going to those links, mainly because you mashed them together, but it seems like it's the .es version og Google, so I'm going to assume you set the language, or your OS is set on something not English.

    You did something wrong.

    Hi coolcamel,

    Sorry...thought you were trying to say that Firefox changed their homepage...that's what the title refers to.
    Realize now you're just refering to what you see on your computer.

    when i did a search from www.google.com.sa the results where returned from www.google.com.sa.

    try clearing your dns cache:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    Are you using an "anonymous" proxy or perhaps TOR? If you are using a proxy, google will resolve to the local domain for the given country.
