New tabs open with a search site - I want to get my thumbnails back.

more options

When I open a new tab I get search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3319612&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=4&UP=SP19543CEB-FDD0-4BED-9A1B-7C1CECC96C28 rather than then new tabs page or blank.

I tried to change browser.newtab.url status: user set type: string value: search.conduit.com/?ctid=......

but it doesn't seem to accept any changes.

Delete the user.js file in the profile folder.

And after run the searchreset tool.

All of the lines in user.js were there as part of Zonealarm

I eliminated them all - the file is blank - to no avail.
