When I open Firefox, my homepages (4) are loaded, then after a slight delay, there a new tab appears with social media links and the new tab is active. I want to stop the new tab from opening!

Uh-oh, you might have installed an unofficial bundle containing the update. If your download history indicates the source, can you report it here?

Your "More system details" shows the MySearchDial extension. I recommend removing that, either from the Add-ons page (if possible) or from the Windows Control Panel.

Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then find MySearchDial and remove it (or at least disable it).

If necessary, open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring recent infections, er, additions, to the top.

Any luck cleaning it up?

The MySearachDial was the culprit. Think it came with Adobe or Silverlight. It is gone now. Thanks,
