Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it.
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.

If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Believe the problem is solved. On my computer there is a red (Firebox) box with a down arrow. After left clicking the down arrow - then click on start new tab button - all was corrected. Thanks for your help. Peace, bob..
