For some reason when I open a new "fresh tab it opens to yahoo instead of google. How do I change this setting. I cant seem to find out how. I have deleted and reinstalled, to no avale. Im affraid that if I cant find a fix to this Im going to back to explorer, Its too much of a hassle for me to always type in google instead of having it set like before.

The default Firefox installation opens a blank page when you open a new tab, something you installed changed that action, probably an extension.

Disable or un-install that extension.
