I downloaded Firefox 4 and then did not like it due to the absence of at least a http// to start with and also because it does not contain an X to stop loading a page. I downloaded 3.6.17 and now it will not let me go back to "home"

The http is not missing, it is present when you go to web sites. If you are referring to the default home page, you can change it to something else - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

The X to stop loading a page is also still available. In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.

When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.

If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar


As for your problem with Firefox 3.6.17, what is your home page? Have you confirmed that the site you have set for the home page is up?
