Problems downloading Firefox Browser

more options

I downloaded the Firefox browser and ran the program. The homepage does not bring me to the New Tab page, but instead keeps bringing me to the page to download the browser. I've done it more than 6 times and still get the same result.

Fixed it. Just had to hit "restore defaults" for home page. Thanks.

I did follow this article, but it hasn’t worked. I always used Firefox, but had Google set as the default browser. I just wanted to switch it to the Firefox browser. The home page, however, keeps directing me to download the Firefox browser, but the “New Tab” page never comes up for me to browse.
