I downloaded GOM player and also inadvertently also downloaded Outfoxtv.com. Now whenever I open a new tab I get outfoxtv, I used to just get a blank tab.
Whenever I open a new tab i get directed to "http://www.outfox.tv/?referid=180" I can't seem to find a way to delete it. I want to reset to opening a blank tab when I open a new tab.

There's a hidden setting for what appears on new tabs. You can try fix that here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:
- Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab
- Blank tab => about:blank
- Built-in Firefox home page => about:home
- Any other page => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Two gotchas:
- If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
Tools menu > Add-ons > in the left column click Extensions
- If the change works but at the next startup is back to the unwanted site, you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: How to fix preferences that won't save.
Any luck?

See these for learning how to remove Outfox . TV from your PC.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/518689/outfox-tv-has-invaded-my-firefox/ - depending upon whether you got the Beta version of that garbage, or the V2 version (which is claimed to be less obnoxious), you may need to install the Search Reset extension - which was created by a Firefox developer to reset the newtab URL to the default setting
