When I click on a new tab, a search program automatically comes up??
When I click on the New Tab Search bar this appears in the URL and becomes my search engine evidently: "http://search.sonicpdfconverter.com" I don't know where this came from. Want to use my default search engine. George

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (converters, toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.
