Content of newly opened Firefox tab

When opening a new Firefox tab (not the home page, but a second or third tab, etc), it loads a Bing search screen automatically. I found no reference to Bing under any of the Tools screens in Firefox, so where does the tab's content originate ? I much prefer a totally blank tab, so how could I eliminate this annoyance ??

Uninstall the SearchToolbar/1.2 extension.
