I got rid of the VILE yahoo seach engine from Firefox start up page, but yahoo still violates my computer when I open a new tab. How can I stop this?

I Changed Default Search Engine to Google, but opening a new tab still defaults to the (totally useless) yahoo search engine. Either there is a way to fix this or I need to ditch Firefox as my browser. Its a pity, because Firefox used to be a good browser.

Hi, try this: Type about:config into the address bar, press Enter, accept the warning, scroll down to browser.newtab.url and make sure 'Value' is set to about:newtab (right click > Modify, to change it if necessary, taking care not to alter anything else). If you want something other than the default New Tab page, just enter its URL instead of about:newtab. You may then need to restart Firefox. More - Configuration Editor for Firefox.
