I've just installed Firefox 6.0.2, and in previous versions when a new tab was opened, it opened to my homepage. When this version opens its FIRST tab, it does indeed go to the proper homepage. BUT, when all subsequent new tabs are opened, the homepage is ignored and instead these tabs open a Yahoo search engine page.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).

If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Thanks so much for the tips. I'm not sure what changed from when a new tab was opened in earlier Firefox versions, but this extension solves the problem. Thanks again!
