to Edmeister - Before I saw your post, I saw that in options for firefox the home page had a long URL. when i tried to change it firefox told me that the home page was controlled by DM.onesearch - it prompted me to disable that which I did. it then allowed me to change the home page, once i changed that new tab started working. Thanks. I checked control panel and there were no unkown programs installed. I will be downloading malware bytes soon to get rid of this onesearch. thanks for the post
