Yahoo Search comes up when I press New Tab; I want a blank tab
Today I downloaded a piece of "free" software. I downloaded Yahoo Toolbar without asking. I used Add/Remove programs to remove Yahoo Toolbar. Now when I launch Firefox, I get a new tab the first time, but if I click on the + New Tab, it opens Yahoo Search. I may not even want search; I just want a clean tab. How do I remove that.

There's currently only one way (That I can think of) to change this.
- Go to NewTabURL and download the addon.
- After restarting Firefox
- Go to Addons
- Find NewTabURL
- Open the options in that and make sure Blank page is selected.
- Then just press save and test it out!
Thanks for the help, but there is no change. It still comes up with the Yahoo Search page. I wanted to show the page but Prt-Sc doesnt seem to work for that either.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks for the reply, but it was in the Default theme. That didn't solve the problem.

It doesn't show up in the add-ons list and it doesn't show up in add/remove programs. I removed the Yahoo toolbar that way, but this is left behind.
Disabling Freeze.com Net Assistant did it. Thanks
