A recent software update/download has changed my default site (on new tab only) to http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20111042,6894,0,22,0

I cannot remember how to change the setting as I do not want Yahoo as my default (anything). Can someone please advise on how to reset the 'new tab' from yahoo to mozilla?
