When I click to add a tab, it used to just bring up a blank page. Now it automatically goes to something like www.searchqu.com. How do I delete this reference to searchqu?

Everything is summed up in the question.

Also my search site selection randomly changes from google to other search engines (e.g., bing or AVG); how do I drop the various search engines?

(1) Why is every new tab I open (not each new webpage, which comes up with my home page, just the tabs) immediately going to a site called "Searchqu.com" which I've never heard of before and deleting and reinstalling firefox hasn't gotten rid of? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help

(2) i cant get rid of this(http://www.searchqu.com/406) software did all i know how to do! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help
