A recent download made yahoo as my default site when opening a new tab. how do I change this?

A recent software update/download has changed my default site (on new tab only) to http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20111042,6894,0,22,0
I cannot remember how to change the setting as I do not want Yahoo as my default (anything). Can someone please advise on how to reset the 'new tab' from yahoo to mozilla?

Look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab ("A blank page", "The home page", "The current page" or a user defined URL):

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • When opening a new tab how can i get the yahoo search engine off of the new tab to where its just a blank tab ?

    When opening a new tab it automatically loads the yahoo search engine in the new tab. It use to just open a blank tab..how do I remove the Yahoo search engine from loading in a new tab ?

    To make it a blank page again go to:
    Tools and then click on add-ons
    Then scroll down and disable "My.Freeze.com Net Assistant"
    This should fix your problem :)

  • When opening a new tab, how do I default to my home page?

    When I manually open a new tab I always get a blank window. I want the new tab to default to my home page when I open it. IE does this, why not Firefox?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • When opening a new tab, how to set default site

    I want my default website to be google each time I open a new tab. Somehow, my new tabs are opening as defaulted to bing.

    Is there a simple way to have a new tab open to a default website or does it require the add-on? It seems like this should be a standard option.

  • When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

    somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?

    Does anyone have a solution for this???
    "I cannot view pdf files on Safari, instead they download and open in viewer. How do I change this?"

    Back up all data. Please read this whole message before doing anything, so you'll know what to expect.
    Open Safari's preferences dialog and make notes of everything you would need to recreate the basic settings, such as your home page. That includes the settings of Safari extensions, if any are installed.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Quit Safari. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste (command-V) into the box that opens and press return. A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open.
    Launch Safari. Its settings will have reverted to what they were they first time you launched it. Your bookmarks, history, and AutoFill data will be preserved.
    Test. If Safari now works as expected, recreate its settings and delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Safari again and put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the newer one created in its place. Post your results.

  • How do I change the website that Firefox automatically defaults to (Yahoo search) when opening a new tab?

    Whenever I open a new tab, the new tab opens to a yahoo search page. It used to open to just a blank tab and changed somehow. I've been unsuccessful at changing it back.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
