Suddenly, when Firefox brings up a new tab it goes to a Yahoo page and redirects to another Yahoo search engine. This is annoying and takes time before I can go where I want to go with my new tab. How can I make my tab go to my homepage or even a blank page would be better.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
