My Mozilla open my homepage Google ok but no label to open came up with YAHOO instead. How can I change this?

Recently re-installed Win7 and Mozilla. I took care to uncheck the boxes for install Yahoo on other software. How can I get rid of yahoo search when I open a new tab? My home page opens with what I put it, like Google. Here is a copy of the URL.

https://us.search.Yahoo.com/YHS/Web? & hspart = w3i & hsimp = YHS-syctransfer & type = W3i_NT, 205, 0_0, NewTab, 20141146, 20031, 0, FF33, 6976

Help, please!

This link looks like an affiliate link that pays a third party to generate the traffic to Yahoo. It can be generated by an add-on.

We start here, with the hidden to the new tab URL parameter:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

Some traps:

If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + A
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then check anything unknown or untrusted.

If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

A little luck?
