My brother did something which made the new tab page a Yahoo search page. I'd much rather it be the blank page, selecting the address bar. I downloaded the newtabURL add-on and selected the option blank page, highlighting the URL, along with some other stuff and saved it. When I restarted though, Yahoo was still my default new tab option.

I have no idea where this is coming from, I've checked my add-on list, control panel, and extensions list and cannot find anywhere he set Yahoo to do this.

Thanks in advance for your help, and please state some of the obvious solutions I might have overlooked.

Disable or uninstall the newtabURL extension and you should be good to go

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
