When I try to open new tab, the page opens but it goes to Ask.com. I want a blank page. How do I change this?

Hello,

You may have the Ask.com toolbar accidentally installed. If this is the case, see this article for a solution: Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page Be sure to run the SearchReset Add-on step.

Let us know if this helps!

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Thank you both for your assistance. I believe it had to have been installed with a download. I do keep an eye on all of my downloads, but these companies keep making more and more deals to profit off us.

Thanks again <<<<>>>>
