by KadirTopalHi jirothankyou, that sounds like an add-on installed itself without your consent. You can try to remove the add-ons that might cause problems from the add-on manager. The process is explained here. If that doesn't work, or you never installed add-ons, or you want to have a quick fix: just reset Firefox. This will remove all add-ons and set Firefox to factory defaults, but it will keep your history, bookmarks, passwords etc. Here is a description of how to do that: Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems.
Let me know please if that helped.

For anyone else who still gets an unwanted page when opening a new tab, even after removing or disabling unwanted toolbars or other extensions from the Add-ons Manager:
Before using the Reset Firefox option, you could try the SearchReset add-on to reset Firefox preferences for your home page, search engines, "keyword.URL", and the browser.newtab.url setting that controls what appears when you open a new tab.

Hi, KadirTopal.
Please kindly advice how to reset Firefox to factory default without resetting also the Bookmark database ?
Thanks in advance

Hi tetramailbox, just follow the link, reseting Firefox will automatically preserve your bookmarks.
Yes, it works and it also preserve the Bookmarks, and I have to install the add-ons again. Thanks
Hi Kadir Topal. Is there another way to remove the "Isearch.claro" when the page opens up, just by editing in the "keyword.url" ? I try it before by editing it but the value in "keyword.url" always back again to "Isearch.claro"
