Again, As I open up a new tab in Firefox I keep getting a Mozilla Start Page with Google.com/firefox I can't seem to get rid of it? The tab always displays the same thing. How can I delete this and get back my original tab displays? I am really not too sure how this all started if i downloaded something or not. I also notice a tab will open up on it's own with a advertisement I've run CCleaner several times but nothing...

TKS, David
