So I recently downloaded Babylon (for an offer), and Babylon search started to open when I open a new Tab. I've uninstalled the Babylon program and the Search Add-On, but it still keeps on opening. is there any possible way that I can fix this? I want to open my new Tab as a blank page.

Hi, I had something very much like this happen. Only for me, my awesome bar was reset to Bing. I found this cnet video very helpful and now it's reset to google. http://cnettv.cnet.com/change-awesome-bar-search-engine/9742-1_53-50074762.html

I hope this helps, I'm a "geek in training" so please be gentle with me if this doesn't help.-Malaficent

You can fix this in 1 minute by downloading the AddOn: Tab Utilities 1.1.4 , then you just change the start page for new tab. Save and the issue is sorted !

Gosh I was so happy when I finally had this under control!

Hello, i'll teach you how:

  1. First, at the web address, go to about:config
  2. When a warning shows up, just hit "I'll be careful, I promise!"
  3. Then at the search bar, just type this - browser.newtab.url
  4. Just right click on the result, and hit "Reset"

View the picture I've attached for reference. That's it!
