Trying to change new tab setting to open a specific website every time

When I have a window of Firefox open, and I click to open a "New Tab", I am wanting the new tab to default to Google. Right now, it goes straight to www.trovi.com (a search engine I've actually never heard of until this issue surfaced). I've made Google my home page. I've changed my default search engine to Google. I've updated every setting I can think of, but I'm clearly missing something...because still, when I click to open a new tab, it goes to trovi.com and not Google. I've restarted Firefox. I've completely shut down my computer, turned it back on, and then checked the settings to see if they worked...which they don't. I would even be ok if clicking "New Tab" opened up to a display of recently visited pages in tile format. I just really need trovi.com to go away from my "new page", and am struggling to find out how to do so. I've read the support boards, tried some of the suggestions...nothing is working. Any help you provide will be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks so much in advance for your time & efforts.
