every time I open a new tab I get a blank search page, I want my Yahoo home page to come up automatically, my options are set to my home page and everything works, except when I open a new tab or a new window, each time I have to manually type in the site where I want to go, isn't there a default setting possible for new tabs and windows? I've been through all the setting and options but can't locate the "Tabs" Default or a "New Window" default? Can someone please give me step by step key stroke info how I can get this frustrating stuff setup. Thanks, wbrede@yahoo.com

You can do that in the options of that extension: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
