I have downloaded Firefox 3 times and each time I open it, the 'homepage' is nothing but a blank page with a space to ask a Google querstion. I can't get out of that page. What should I do?
The page is white on the top and light blue on the bottom ,and there is a tab at the top labelled Firefox Start Page. The address bar says 'abouthome.' There is a Firefox emblem (that doesn't open when clicked) at the top of the page, in the middle there is a Google field to ask a question and below that a small box with tips that can be clicked. There is no homepage like the one described in the tutorial. I tried typing 'Firefox homepage' in the middle Google field and was taken to the tutorial. Still no real homepage on my computer.

I think what you're describing is the new start page. (The video here should reflect the current version: How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help)
Are you looking for a page you set up before? If so, I would try going directly to http://www.google.com/ and log in if necessary.

I read the directions at the link you suggested. However, there is no orange Firefox tax at the top left to click on, and the tab I see doesn't say 'Firefox Updated.' It says 'Mozilla Firefox Start Page.' I just noticed that I mistakenly read the address as 'abouthome' but it actually is 'about:home.' I don't know if that makes a difference. Any other suggestions?
about:home is the new start page.
If you are displaying the classic menu bar, then you won't see the orange Firefox button, and vice versa. On the classic menu bar, you would use Tools > Options > General to get to the home page setting.
This is the Firefox Start Page that was used in Firefox 3.6 and prior versions.
http://www.google.com/firefox
The about:home default homepage looks a lot like that older default homepage, but it is missing the Google menu items at the top left-side of the web page, along with the Sign In hyperlink for signing into Google services and the Options "gear button" for setting Google search preferences.
If you want the orange Firefox button to show, instead of the Menu Bar showing, you need to hide the Menu Bar by right-clicking a blank spot on the Menu Bar and de-selecting the Menu Bar by clicking on Menu Bar in that contextual menu.
