I logged onto the yahoo site and at some point pressed a Yahoo new tab option. Rather stupidly I didn't realize that when I wanted a new tab i would now get a yahoo page instead on my familiar tab with all my favourite sites on.

Hi, not stupid; it's easily done, especially if we have our minds on other things at the time! Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A) > Extensions and look for/remove anything 'Yahoo.'

You can also check your Firefox Desktop shortcut for corruption: Right click on it > Properties, and in Target, make sure there is no sign of anything other than Firefox. If there is, delete that part of it. Or if it's easier, you can just delete it and recreate a new shortcut. More: Wrong home page opens when I start Firefox - How to fix.

If it's still there, do a search for Yahoo in your PC's search box.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you!

Thank you. I checked the Add-ons extensions as suggested and removed Yahoo. This gave me back my normal tab. I also checked the shortcut as suggested but it had no mention of Yahoo.

Thank you.
