Hi graceeee02,
Thanks to Support Mozilla.. Here is solution for you... Follow these steps with you Firefox Browser.
1. In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
2. In the search box above the list, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
3. Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter your preferred page:
Page thumbnails (default) --> about:newtab Blank tab --> about:blank Built-in Firefox home page --> about:home Any other page --> full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked.
Thank you!!!
Hi, this sounds like a malware issue. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
- Microsoft Safety Scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.
Note that not all removal programs will detect all malware, so you may need to run several or all of them.
After removal you may need to reset your New Tab, search etc., which you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.
