Firefox new page

Dear MajorGeeks,

I've got a problem with Firefox's new page.
The history: on my old notebook I used Firefox and until some month ago when I opened a new page, my starting page (google) appeared every time, even if I opened 3-5 new pages. Then some time later I must have downloaded an update or something, because the first page opened with google, but when I opened a 2nd or 3rd, there were the most popular pages (9) I used, the ones I opened often.
Now I bought a new notebook (Asus) and the guy from the service tried to make it just like the old one, he saved all the old programs, etc. I also adjusted Firefox as I thought it was. But now the first page is google, but all the others are empty pages. No google and no most frequent pages. I wish I could get that back cuz it made things so much easier.
I updated to the last Firefox (3.0.5, then 3.0.8.) but it didn't change anything about the empty pages.
Can you tell me how to get back those services?

Thanks in advance!
