How can I get new tabs to appear blank instead of with a Yahoo search page?

Previously when I would open a new tab on Firefox, I would get a blank page, which loaded fast. Then I could go to whatever page I wanted. It was great. Now when I open a new tab, I get a Yahoo search page. It loads slowly, and I never use Yahoo. I prefer Google for searches.

By any chance do you have any Yahoo add-ons? Check on the Tools menu, Add-ons, and particularly under Extensions.

Thanks. That advice got me pointed in the right direction. I still had to uninstall the Yahoo Toolbar, but once I did it worked. Much appreciated.

I disabled the Freeze.com NetAssistant 3.6.5. add-on and my new tab returned to being blank.
