New tabs should open by default as a blank tab with no web page on it.
If something else happens and a web page opens that an extension or other software is causing that.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

cleared the fault, thanks a lot,
yahoo is taking over our browsers...im trying to find a way to kill it
You probably have the yahoo toolbar. IT IS THE DEVIL AND YOU SHOULD UNINSTALL IT ;)
Anyways...to alleviate this stresser for now...start firefox in safemode (close all browsers first): Start menu -->all programs---> mozilla firefox ---> mozilla firefox (safe mode)
When the dialogue box appears...check "disable all toolbars and add-ons"
Then click "Make change and start"
The previously mentioned add-ons and Adware software is useful, BUT you still have to make changes in the settings and it is ONLY useful for future add-on/toolbar downloads.
Until I can figure out how to UNINSTALL that damn toolbar completely, I hope you find this to be the MOST useful (based on putting 2 and 2 together from other replies) ;)

BTW you and go back and enable individual add-ons (as needed) by going to tools --->add-ons----> enable (for specific highlighted add-ons)
AND you can customize your toolbar by right clicking a toolbar icon and clicking "customize"
I hope this has been helpful :)

Yahoo is one of the most annoying businesses. I'd like to sue them. Go to Tools | add-ons. Uninstall Yahoo Toolbar, and Disable Freeze.com NetAssistant. That should prevent this criminal intrusion by a scum company. NEVER use Yahoo.
Yeah, it was Freeze.com. Thank you!
I had same problem. Before, each new tab opened a new Google search page. Suddenly it began opening new tabs in only Yahoo! search. I uninstalled the add-on for Yahoo! (no idea how I got it!), but still had the same problem. Then I disabled the "Freeze - Net Assistant" add-on, and it WORKED! (Thanks).
But, now each new tab opens in a BLANK new page, rather than my old Google Search page. Can't seem to get it to open as it used to, in Google Search. I set that up under earlier version (now using version 4), but can't seem to do it in this newest version. Love some help. Thx.
