New tabs open with a search site - I want to get my thumbnails back.
When I open a new tab I get search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3319612&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP19543CEB-FDD0-4BED-9A1B-7C1CECC96C28 rather than then new tabs page or blank.
I tried to change browser.newtab.url status: user set type: string value: search.conduit.com/?ctid=......
but it doesn't seem to accept any changes.

Delete the user.js file in the profile folder.
And after run the searchreset tool.
- Search Reset Tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page.
All of the lines in user.js were there as part of Zonealarm
I eliminated them all - the file is blank - to no avail.
