Moved a site to a new server and firefox is showing old descriptions still and still adding /home.html at the end so site wont show
I built a website for http://blackrosetattoos.ca/ and They had an old site already up before. When I mad the new site and put it live, It shows up in chrome just great, but is not being indexed (I am guessing) by firefox again so its showing all the old descriptions BUT the worst part is its adding /home.html after the URL which chrome is not and this is makign the site not show up because that is not the right URL. its JUST http://blackrosetattoos.ca/ So the site only shows up in chrome !?!?!? HELP!

You might want to clear your history and site-specific settings for the domain and see whether that helps. If you open History > Show All History, display your Today history, and right-click an entry for the site, you can choose "Forget about this site". On my system this takes about 30 seconds while Firefox is locked up, but I think the time required depends on how much history you save.
HOWEVER, this will not help visitors to your site who have been there before and may have a similar address auto-filled in their address bar. It also won't address the problem you have that your Google results point to old pages -- you can see that with many of the results in this query:
site:blackrosetattoos.ca - Google Search
You can create redirects for old addresses using a .htaccess file. Basically the file points the old address to a new page by returning a 301 (moved permanently) code and the new address. Browsers follow those redirects automatically, and Google uses them to update its results.
If your host doesn't let you create/edit .htaccess files or you find it too confusing (some .htaccess stuff is quite confusing), then consider a WordPress plug. I did a quick search and saw the following, but I'm sure there are others, hpoefully without so many 1-star reviews: WordPress › Redirection « WordPress Plugins.
These issues are little beyond the scope of this forum, but hopefully that's enough to get you started.
