When I open Firefox it goes to my home page, the Google search engine. However when I open a tab on the same page it goes to Yahoo, not what I want.

That feature will have been added by an extension. checking your list of extensions I believe this will be caused by the Freeze.com Net Assistant or the Yahoo Toolbar. The Net Assistant extension does cause tabs to open to Yahoo, if you don't need that extension try disabling or uninstalling it to see if that solves your problem.
