This is a simple request. I just got my computer back from service that took 2 months (no joke) and installed the latest firefox updates. Now whenever I open a new tab it goes to yahoo search. I want my old plain vanilla default screen back and don't know how to reset this.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== since service & last update - either/or may be coindicence

Firefox normally opens a blank page when you open a new Tab. Something you installed has changed that action.
