Since I have installed Firefox 3.6, when I try to click on the + to open another tab, it opends a Yahoo web search stie instead of the blank page that used to open. How do I remove the Yahoo web search page from the tab browser?

This will be caused by a Yahoo related extension. One that does this is called the net assistant, if you uninstall it you will revert to getting a blank tab - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

If you do not have an add-on called net assistant, use the procedure in the following link to identify what extension is causing this for you - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
