When I open a new tab it automatically opens to a spam website, how do I get it to open back to the frequently visited sites page?

Firefox

Every time I click the new tab button instead of the frequently visited websites page appearing it opens to this site - search.babylon.com/?affID=112555&tt=120912_cpc_3912_2&babsrc=NT_ss&mntrId=9c13917f00000000000000234e0236a1 How do I get the new tab button to open back to the frequently visited sites page?

You are infected by Babylon. Fortunately we can remove this fairly easily :)

First, update Firefox to 15.0.1. Update Firefox to the latest release

Then, go to start, control panel and uninstall a program. Find anything related to babylon, b-protection, browser manager, etc. and remove it.

Then, open up Firefox, type about:addons into the address bar, and press Enter. Uninstall anything related to Babylon in the Extensions section of that page.

finally, install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
