Just Upgraded- can't edit home page title in browser bar

[Elarya]

By the way, is there a place that has a list where I might find what other "CUSTOM" pages of mine may need updating?

disregard last message, you posted right when I did and answered my question :) Will do a search for WinMerge

You have an old meta_tags.php. Add this block of code between "// Custom Keywords" and "// Review Page can have a lead in:"

// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', '');

  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank


// EZ-Pages meta-tags.  Follow this pattern for all ez-pages for which you desire custom metatags. Replace the # with ezpage id.
// If you wish to use defaults for any of the 3 items for a given page, simply do not define it. 
// (ie: the Title tag is best not set, so that site-wide defaults can be used.)
// repeat pattern as necessary
  define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_EZPAGE_#','');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_EZPAGE_#','');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_#', '');

// Per-Page meta-tags. Follow this pattern for individual pages you wish to override. This is useful mainly for additional pages.
// replace "page_name" with the UPPERCASE name of your main_page= value, such as ABOUT_US or SHIPPINGINFO etc.
// repeat pattern as necessary
  define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_page_name','');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_PAGE_page_name','');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_page_name', '');

Edit:

Or edit the new version of meta_tags.php to reflect your website information and upload it.

This is the version info from the latest meta_tags.php:

I am using a template called aaadisplay so the meta_tags.php file is in \includes\languages\english\aaadisplay\meta_tags.php. I edited the text for: define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION',
and define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS',
but it still shows the default information that just lists the categories. Is there a setting somwhere else that need to be set before it uses the new information? Thank you in advance.

Could this be a version problem? I cannot get the meta descriptions and keywords to work on my site. I am using version 1.3.7. however, it does have the meta_tags.php file you described.

I am guessing that the person who recently made changes to my site, used this file which is from a later version of zen cart or an add on?

I would presume it would take more than just this one php file to make the HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION, HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS and HOME_PAGE_TITLE to work properly.
