What is the difference between a trading account at a brokerage firm and an online trading account?

Is there any difference between opening a trading account at a brokerage firm and opening an online trading account? What are the differences? I am new at stock investing but would like to start. I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing and opening the right accounts. Many people I know have accounts at brokerage firms and some of them are not so happy with that. Some people have made a lot of money with online trading accounts but they say there is a learning curve. Can someone advise?
