When I attempt to open a new private browsing window, an "Index to file" window opens and shows everything on my hardrive.Concerned for security. What can I do?
When I opened Firefox prior to the update, my homepage had an address "file:///" and labeled "Index to file". the window showed all my hardrive files with links to other files. Concerned for security, I contacted computer support where I was told it may be malware. They cleared my caches and updated my operating system. When I updated Firefox and clicked on the private browsing icon (mask icon) The index to file window showed up again. What do I need to do to stop this from happening?

No problem, You have "file:///..." homepage by default, example: if you write "file:///c:/" can see all files of your hard disk, you can change your default homepage in Tools-> Options->General menu of the Firefox
