more options

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):
