This may be supremely basic, but I really can't figure it out... I accidentally downloaded the Yahoo toolbar yesterday and while I thought I had removed everything, I noticed that now when I open a new tab on Firefox, it defaults to yahoo.com. How do I change the "new tab" default (and get rid of this frickin' yahoo hijack!)? I just want my Google back! Thanks in advance.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
