When I bring up Firefox, the screen always says "This file cannot be found, etc." Is this normal? This is always the first page. What do I do, if anything? I have to hit new tab+ to get the home page.

This sounds like the browser can not open your home page.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type browser.startup.homepage

What is the value? Right-click and select Reset to restore its default value; about:home
