How do I change the display/site when I open a new tab

When I open a new tab I get AVG Search. I want to go to google when I open a tab but I can't figure out how to do that. Your help section doesn't make it easy to find this info.

"When I open a new tab I get AVG Search."

The default action in Firefox is to open a blank tab. Something installed as an add-on for Firefox has changed that action, and until you figure out what changed that action and disable it, installing another add-on probably isn't going to change that new tab away from the AVG search page.

Hey belindawolfe,

You should should look at some of the cool addons available. They will give you all sorts of options for what happens when you open a new tab. You can find information on using the Add-on manager in Find and install add-ons to add features to Firefox.

Hopefully this helps!
