How do I stop Firefox from opening tabs in a new website?
When I open a new tab in Firefox, it always used to be a 'blank page'. I always had my home page to Google, and new tabs were blank. Now when I open a new tab, it opens up with Yahoo search (but my home page is still Google) Basically, how do I stop Firefox from opening new tabs into websites.

Do you have some kind of Yahoo Toolbar installed?

Is it the Yahoo page about which you complain?
http://urlseek.vmn.net/search.php?type=dns&tbn=vidtomp3dn&q...
It is set now in your preferences that when you type something in location bar (not website address, but search keywords), this page is used.
I'm afraid this is set by one of your toolbars. Googling says many different Firefox extensions ("search settings", PDFforge, "UltraEdit toolbar", "Multiply Toolbar") can cause it.
Disable a suspected toolbar in Tools->Add-ons->Extensions, restart Firefox, go to about:config, click button "I'll be careful", type or paste "keyword.url" (without quotes) into the Filter textbox, reset/modify the preference to anything else (without urlseek) and then test it. If some time later urlseek will return, another toolbar is the culprit, so go through the algorithm again.
When urlseek doesn't appear anymore, you have disabled the culprit toolbar, so you can try to restore other toolbars, one-by-one, carefully (maybe, more than one toolbar was causing it).

Here’s the easy, get rid of it for good fix: It’s done within Firefox. Enter [about:config] in the url address box. Click “I’ll be careful. I promise”. In the <filter> field, type “extensions.netassistant” (no quotes). Right click on the field: “extensions.netassistant.tabsearch.url”, click on <modify>, either delete its string or enter your own. I’ve entered “https://encrypted.google.com” (this is a beta encrypted search by Google) just as a personal satisfaction against Yahoo. Do the same for:”extensions.netassistant.url” field. NOTE: If you haven’t modified your Firefox configuration before and you don’t feel comfortable in what you are about to do, BACKUP! The backup procedure can be found at: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/backing%20up%20your%20information. Or just do a Google search for “backup Firefox pref.js”.
