When I create a new tab it opens on yahoo's search page. I have to mouse over and click in the address bar to type an address. Or I can hit tab 10 or so times. I used to just hit control+t and I could start typing the URL.

How do I change it so a new tab is ready to go, that is, all I have to do is start typing the URL, bookmark name etc?

A new tab should open with a blank page by default.
If that isn't happening then you have an extension that is casing it.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
