When opening a new tab, can I make it go to my homepage? Currently "AVG Safe Search" opens with a new tab, I want it gone!

I downloaded the latest AVG update and with it they were more than happy to hit me with a stupid search bar at the top of Firefox, as well, when I open a new tab it goes to a page that looks like Google but is the AVG Safe Search page. I don't want it to happen! I would like if I could set it so Google home opens when I open a new tab but I haven't been able to find that option.

It didn't work. I reset the keyword.url but it didn't change anything, so I replaced it with the other link and it still didn't work.
