Blank Tabs - But only once

I am using Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) with Yahoo.Com as my home page. All of a sudden, when I use the search bar at the top of the Yahoo Home Page, Firefox opens up a blank tab in response. Doesn't matter what I search for, same thing happens. Then, if I close that blank/empty tab and reattempt the same exact search again, it works fine.

This has been happening only for the past few days - was fine before. Is this Firefox? Or is this Yahoo? And how can I resolve the issue?

Thanks in advance.

This is becoming a nuisance. Hard to believe that I'm the only person facing this. It's happening on another computer now. I have to execute searches twice. After the first search I have to close out the blank tab that it generated and then execute the search again. 90% of the time it works the 2nd time but I've had a few occasions when I needed to do it 3 times.

A switch to Chrome is looking like a probability.
