My homepage works fine, but when I open a new tab, that page opens to a Bing search page. I've gone to tools>add-ons> and searched both add-ons and extensions... there nothing listed there that refers to Bing.

Once the tab opens, i can hit my home button which takes me to my home page, but that step is annoying.

Try removing the Brand Thunder extension.
