The latest auto update of SwagBucks now locks the Open New Tab page into swagbucks.com.

I've lost my TILES page.

My HOME page is still correctly set and regardless of what that is, the Open New Tab page always goes to SwagBucks.com.

I've removed everything I can find that is SwagBucks, including add-ons/extensions.

Since that update, there is NO LONGER the usual/stated "cogwheel" for the TILES to turn them back on/set their level of function (classic, enhanced, etc.).

I use Windows 7 and the latest Firefox Browser, 35.0.1.

Install this - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/

It will reset the new tab page, among other things, and then disappear once it has done its work.
