What happened to the grid of sites we use daily when pressing the plus (+) sign at the end of the current address?

Up until today, when I pressed the plus (+) sign at the end of the 'google search' which comes up when I bring up Mozilla Firefox.....Now I am getting a search site with AVG.....how do it get rid of that and get back what we like and use? Unwanted change is just disgusting!!

You can set check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and make sure it is set to about:newtab
Also make sure that the new tab page is enabled (there is a 3x3 grid icon in the top right corner of the about:newtab page)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
