I unintentionally downloaded a Yahoo toolbar which was installed into my Firefox browser. I uninstalled the toolbar however when I click on a new tab, it opens up to the Yahoo search engine. I want to have it open up to a different page. When I click on new window it opens up to the correct site, but not new tab. How do I change this?

Install this extension and set it up for the desired URL for the new Tab.

Unfortunately this extension did not fix my problem. Is there perhaps another solution? Do I need to go back to an earlier version of Firefox?
