I recently downloaded a program that now makes all my new tabs open to a Yahoo search. I would like my new tabs to pen a new page so I downloaded the NewTab URL add-on, but don't know how to use it. I set my options to blank page, but a yahoo search is still opening in the new tab.

You need to figure out what you have installed that is causing a new tab to show that Yahoo search page.

See if this helps you sort that out:
