New tabs had started opening to Yahoo. Stopped using Mozillauntil Chrome started annoying me. Got rid of Yahoo search page by disabling freezenet but now when I click on the + sign to open a new tab, I get a blank page. I used to click on the + sign and open to the google search page. I want it back. Please help
