I would like my Gmail page to open as soon as I turn on my computer. It was fine until I upgraded Firefox.

When I start my computer, I automatically get the Firefox page with pop ups I do not want. I would like to get my gmail page so that I can check my mail. Thank you.

I don't think bringing up Firefox with your system would be a good idea, but it doesn't really appear to be the question.

Firefox changed the default home page from a Google search page to one that is marketed as on your machine and named about:home

If you actually started with GMail, you would have had your own home page, and would I believe have been unaffected. But you had a Google search page that had a link at the top to your GMail if I'm not mistaken.

You can make any page your home page, whether it is Google search page or your GMail page.

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.
