When I open a new tab, it automatically opens us.search.yahoo.com. I would like google.com to open so I went to about:config and changed the value for keyword.URL from yahoo to google. When I closed FF out completely and reopened it, I tried the new tab but yahoo was still opening. I checked about:config again and the change was still there but not working. How do I finally get rid of yahoo?
