I just downloaded Firefox Version 16.0.1 and whenever I open a new tab it takes me to Fire Fox's search page when before it opened a blank page .How do I change Firefox back to opening a blank page? I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

hello Blklog01, you can manually edit this behaviour: enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named browser.newtab.url and double-click & change its value to about:blank.
