homepage
Home page keeps displaying a block of u-tube, facebook, e-Bay & various other links instead of the home page I set. Page info says chrome://nspdlmsd/content/newtab/newtab.html.
Guess it's the unwanted google chrome ?
But when I click the home page icon top right my selected home page comes up.
Please advise.
Regards
Martin

Try restore your Home page:
Or try go to about:config search for browser.startup.homepage change its value to:
about:home - default page
about:blank - blank page
url - a page that you want
Also:
I do not understand this so all I can do at the moment is make some guesses !
chrome:// may sometimes relate to Firefox's internals although I do not recognise what you have quoted. This is one example you could try as a demonstration of what I mean it will open the library as an ordinary browser tab
- chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul
(Key or paste it into the addressbar)
I know there is work going on to change how the newtab feature works, and that may somehow relate to your problem. Try firefox in safe mode and with all plugins disabled does that solve the problem ?
As the home icon works presumably you are seeing this when Firefox restarts. Malware or something else corrupting the link used when Firefox starts may cause you to see an unexpected page on staertup. What happens if you start Firefox using Windows run option.
- To get the Run option: Use keyboard shortcut [Windows Key]+[R]
- Type in firefox.exe
- Hit the [Enter] key
Does Firefox start ok then ? - Examine your shortcut, right click on the desktop firefox icon, and check its properties. You are looking to see if something has been tagged on to the end after it says .../firefox.exe
