I somehow managed to mess up my Firefox so that every time I open a new TAB, it opens as a Yahoo search page. I want to remove this so that when I opne a new TAB it opens as a blank page.

I tried to install an app to watch streaming movies. somewhere in the process I managed to install Yahoo as my home page and even after I changed my home page back to Google and now back to MSN.com I get a Yahoo search page every time I open a new TAB. I want to get rid of this, it's very annoying and go back to getting a blank page when I open a new TAB with the cursor in the address bar. Please tell me what I have to change and where to remove Yahoo.

Thanks, Joseph Haber

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).

If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
