New tab brings up Yahoo.com instead of recent pages - how do I change it back?

more options

When I first installed Firefox, a new tab would bring up a page with several "mini-pages" of recently viewed sites which was very handy. Then I installed something that changed that - now each new tabs comes up at yahoo.com. I can't figure out how to change it back. I look at tools:options/tabs - no luck.

You may have to check the settings for the Google Toolbar extension, too - once you fix that Yahoo "theft". By default, Firefox opens a blank page in a new tab - those recently viewed sites in a new tab is a feature added by the Google Toolbar extension (or other extension, but I can see that you have the Google Toolbar installed - so I am guessing that provided the "recently viewed").
